My father-in-law texted my husband yesterday wanting to come over today. When my husband told him no, he laid on a big guilt trip. Then he started texting me with the same intent. He said he should have just mailed us our cards, etc. He's not leaving for Florida until the 17th. I reminded him it was only the 9th, and I told him that we used to go away every year to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary, but last year I wasn't well enough, and this year we couldn't afford it. And I said that our anniversaries are more important to us now… "sorry we couldn't make Sunday work for (him)". He apologized and cut the ****. He can stop by for coffee some day after my husband gets home from work if he wants to, but I didn't set any date or time. Saying yes or no to the visit was up to my husband, but I did agree with his answer. I did not appreciate my father-in-law's manipulation when he didn't get his own way. This sort of behavior is new for him, and I don't like it.

My husband did go out to lunch with his mother yesterday to celebrate his birthday and he had a nice time. I made him toast in the morning because that is all he wanted, and I roasted a pork tenderloin and made yukon gold mashed potatoes with homemade gravy for dinner (no veggies because that is his preference). It came out very good. We watched Black Mass last night because it premiered on cable. It was a good movie. We know a lot of about that SOB because we're from the Boston area. Of course they took a little dramatic license.

We got into a spat before bed. It was 59 degrees out. Having the window open was not enough for him. He wanted the huge ****ing cyclone fan on, too. I had to shut the door in the living room hours earlier because I was freezing (even though I always have to wear a thick sweatshirt inside all the time because he likes the room temp so cool). He said I only cared about myself and the argument ruined his birthday. He had a temper tantrum and got his own way (per usual) and I froze last night.

I wonder what kind of mood he will wake up in today?

The plan is to go out for Japanese food for lunch.
