The day didn't start off to bad. I woke up on time, found an outfit that I liked that fit better than it did last week. Discovered that I had lost another pound in the last few days ... overall, a great start.
Work was a disaster. This last weekend they installed some upgrades and patches to our main claim processing system and since then it has been a mess. Yesterday wasn't so bad, we only crashed once or twice. Today -- it was a nightmare. The system went up and down at least 20 times. About every 15 minutes to 30 minutes. This resulted in me trying to calm team members, trying to find places for everyone's work (and not succeeding since all offices went down) and redirecting team members to other things they could work on other than just claims. *sigh* .. by 4:45pm I was more than ready to leave not at a walk ... but at a run. Tomorrow the back log will be there and we will once again work our asses off to catch up lost ground. Tonight I'll just pray that the system actually works tomorrow!
After work we got together with a couple of friends for dinner and a movie. That went well and we enjoyed ourselves. However, after the movie I tried to discuss some things that were frustrating me with Dave and that went all kinds of wrong. Whoever originally said marriage is hard work, was right in every way possible; and I've only been married a year!!! (as of June 16th). We never finished talking. I dropped Dave off at home and drove around for about an hour alone talking to my newly found great friend, Barbara. The discussion with Dave was around procrastination and feeling like I'm having to remind him of his responsibilities all the time -- where as he doesn't feel like I am or need to. I suppose the answer would be to just stop reminding him or doing things and see what happens?? ... I don't know. Sometimes I just don't have the answers. Maybe tomorrow some insight will come.
The day hasn't gone all wrong .. but it's felt crappy enough. I'll look forward to trying to get some sleep and hopefully I actually will.

Marriage can be a real bitch. I think Joe and Dave both have that "I'm not really grown up yet" thing going on--it's hard on us wives, that's for sure. Hope you worked everything out, and Happy Belated B-day!! Looking forward to seeing you in FL soon--BTW, I've added you to my feed reader :)
