Quick update when I should be working!

[judecorp]

So my 2:15pm assessment cancelled. For the second week in a row. I /really/ needed those assessment hours this week. Actually, I need any hours I can get, since I have Thursday and Friday off. Argh.

In the "silver lining" department, I was concerned that I wouldn't have enough time after my assessment to haul up to Fenway Health for my physical, and would need to barrel up there in the car and find parking. Now, thanks to having no appointments after 2:15pm, I have had time to come home, check e-mail, and leisurely T to my appointment. Much less stress. AND I can walk over to Jen's work after and we can come home together. That's nice.

I came to a realization on the bus yesterday. It was really upsetting to me that Jen and I have been having really ridiculously hellacious arguments lately, even though a lot of our big stressors (unemployment, regretting the move, etc.) have gone away. I realized that when things /were/ really stressed and bad, we got into really bad communication and emotional patterns (trying to assume what the other is feeling, being terribly sensitive, taking everything as a personal attack, etc.) that are continuing to affect us. Especially the "terribly sensitive" part. I can't seem to shake that one. I suppose realization is half of the way there, right? Argh.

Hee, I don't think anyone's ever called us the "type of couple who should have kids" before. As someone who really wants to have kids, but also really wants to be a /good/ parent, that means a lot to me.
