Last night I was so pissed off at Tommy, Jen was too, so much so that we spent the night and morning walk talking about moving and other options. That's pretty significant. I was L I V I D and didn't sleep because I felt the anger about my life and happiness being significantly compromised just trying to manage the respect issues. We woke, I was still upset about it after our dog walk and we ended up talking to Lauren and then pulled Tommy in and had a reasonably calm and honest dialog. I hope it helped. Military school's not something I'm a fan of. Dropped and broke a round ikea food container with an uncooked scrambled egg in it. Not a fun cleanup and OMFG do I have issues with broken glass. I went to my dermatology appointment. Dr Lee seemed so young. But I'm so old. He removed the two moles of concern and felt that one from the left nostril was Squamous and the left sideburn one was Basal. Both are moderate, common and not serious if caught early. I guess I'll know more in about 1-2 weeks. I guess this is what 60 is gonna look like. I took Tommy with me to the radiation appt and we drove her back to SRC. The appointment included a Dr visit so it ran long. It's so weird to me how I'm grateful to have an opportunity to be supportive to somebody that had strong distain for me. But if her world view and experience, I warranted it and she felt betrayed. Feelings are hard to ignore. But if this is really happening, I know I'm doing the right thing for her and myself to be present. When more of this becomes known I'm anticipating a dramatic turn and more direct dialogs. Hopefully. Jen's work day was long and Lauren kindly made us enchiladas. She's worried about my coughing, I don't see it as so different but then again I didn't really catch the mole issue earlier either so maybe I'll listen to her a bit more. She's damned smart. She's going to 'squat' at the DMV tomorrow to try and get her permit issued. I think she now has all she needs after deftly recalling that the birth certificates were in the back of the pilot due to her mom's concerns about fires a few years back. It's incredible she remembered. I'll drop her and squat at Starbucks nearby for my meetings if tables are available. Handmaid's Tale was really well produced. I have been 'meh'' on the show but the intensity of the emotions, situations and interactions between the characters was richly human.
