Bitch Fest:  Husband is always around.  I bought a Sony tape recorder to record my thoughts.  So far I've only used it once but haven't had time to privately listen to and transcribe what I recorded.  There's nothing on it that husband would be remotely interested in but he'd only infringe upon my privacy if I played it while he's here and he's always here.  There is no privacy now that he's working part-time.  Way too much togetherness.

He really doesn't know what to do with himself.  He's already been on the computer 7 times today.  He watches TV excessively even to the point where he's snoring while "watching".  He's too dumb to pick himself up and go to bed when he's so sleepy he's falling asleep in front of the TV and not even following what's on.

It was so much better when he went to work for 40 hours a week - at least I got a break from all the togetherness.  Saying all this, I know he deserves to retire.  Part of the problem is the setup of this house.  Of the six rooms in the house, not including the bathroom, only two have doors - the bedrooms.  The rest of the house is nothing but an open pit with dividing walls but no way to shut a door and not have to listen to the blasted TV which is on ALL THE TIME!!

He did buy wireless headphones to listen to the TV but usually complains when I ask him to put them on.  Right now he's watching the Golden Globe awards which I'm getting tired of hearing.

I just now said "Please put your headphones on." and he replied "All right!" so that's encouraging.  Why did I ever want to get married?  True, like my friend in her 70's says of her husband "He's good company!"  I shouldn't bitch so much.  Now her husband is in Sombrillo and unable to walk while his broken elbow heals.  I don't wish bad on my husband.  I just wish we'd buy a house, not a mansion, that would afford more privacy.  Having my own computer wouldn't be bad either!
