It is good to have a husband that says, "Stay home. Don't go to the party just because you said you would. You're going to be way overwhelmed if you do."

And he's right.

Every since the OUR Center garden turned more into a managerial/direction type of thing where I have someone talking to me the whole time I'm working there, it's been a lot harder on me.

All I want to do is hide in the basement and play video games with Jet, which isn't really healthy for either of us.

So I shouldn't have been so surprised.

Ah well. But she said thank you, John said that I could be understood, and Jenny and Tonya both said that I did well enough to make the lady interesting without droning on and on about her interests. So... I guess it turned out well.
