Kay,

Did a jacket that will work for you?

Macy's had some nice jackets (I'm not looking for a puffy coat or anything), but I couldn't find anything that I could be sure would be warm enough. Then I went to the L.L.Bean outlet. They had one like the one I'm missing, but it was a 10P in an ugly color. I tried it on and it was HUGE. I hope it wasn't an irregular...

When I went to buy the jacket online (in Navy) I didn't know what size to buy. My old one was an 8, but they've probably changed designs a few times since then. I held my breath and ordered a 6 because I was swimming in the 10. Knowing my luck, I ordered the wrong size and I'm going to have to go through the mailing process to exchange it. My husband's going to love bringing me to the post office/ UPS store. Plus, I'll be without a jacket for longer. So I'm anxious about it, but there's nothing I can do about it right no, so (expletive) it.

I didn't have any coupons for Macy's, but they were having a big sale. The outlet price for the jacket was $190. The price I paid online was $229. I looked for coupon/promo codes, but none of them worked :(

My husband was in a (expletive) VILE mood the whole time we were out... a total of 2:15 including a trip to the pharmacy to pick up a script. It's hard to be thankful when someone isn't exactly acting very charitable. Damn I wish I had my license.

I don't know what to say. I hope the jacket fits.

sorry he was in a vile mood...not fun to be around. I wish you had your license too.

Sending good thoughts.

The high today is 39, but I'm not going anywhere.
My jacket is supposed to arrive tomorrow, but I have a test at 1. The high will be 42. lol. I think it's coming via UPS. The postman comes around 2, but I know UPS comes earlier than that... I hope it gets here early, and fits (fingers crossed).

I have a hard time shopping because I'm indecisive and I get buyers remorse. I'm often wary I made the wrong decision. I took it very, very easy on my husband because of his impatience. We were only in Macy's for about 15 minutes, and I wouldn't even let him come in to L.L.Bean. We spent more time driving, and at Target, where I got my prescription and had to wait in a long line to pay for some random things I had to pick up. If I was by myself, I would have hit about 5 more stores (including another L.L.Bean) to try to avoid spending $230, and I probably would have ended up buying a jacket and I would have known it would fit. I'm okay with the jacket I bought- the buyers remorse comes about because of the sizing and the cost. I feel like I should have ordered the 8 because I could still wear it, even if it was too big. And I'm dealing with my "favorite" thing: a lack of control over the outcome. Still thinking/mad about why I'm missing my jacket. Lots of anxiety over a damned jacket. I'm sorry I'm still talking about it. Sometimes I get really hung up on little things.

My husband was in a bad mood all weekend. He throws fits like a child, but it's scary. I took 1.5mg of Klonopin before we went out shopping- I should have taken 3. It's a big relief that today is Monday and he's at work, but it's only a 3 day work week because of Thanksgiving. I hope he finds a new attitude because I don't know if I can handle 4 days of him in a bad mood. Last year we spent Thanksgiving apart. I'm sure that's on his mind, probably why he's been in an especially bad mood, and I'm sure he'll begin starting fights and throwing that in my face soon... something to look forward to... I'm going to have to be very careful what I say, so I don't set him off.

Last month I requested records from my DUI case in NH to show to the DMV in my home state of MA- they arrived Saturday. They're really hard to read :mad: I'm surprised at how much of it is handwritten. I have to make copies that I'm sure will turn out worse. According to the clerk in the court in NH, they're all I'll need. I hope she's right. I don't want to wait in line at the MA DMV all day only to find out I have to go to the courthouse in NH to get something else, or get cleaner copies run. Now that I've gotten that concern off my chest, I'm going to put the papers aside and forget about them until I need them. It's not an immediate threat, so I'm not dealing with that issue right now.

I'm waiting for something else in the mail, not related to the DUI. It includes written instructions for something that I'm fuzzy on because they were given to me over the phone before 8am and I had been sleeping. It would be better to get them sooner rather than later, but in my experience that office is slow.

I was going to call the drunk people on Friday to check to see if they had all my paperwork. Bad plan. I'm sure they'll be closed d/t the holiday. I'm flirting with the idea of calling Wednesday, but I might let that go. I don't want possible bad news to mar my Thanksgiving.

There's a football game on tonight, and it's going to be a good one! :) I'm really looking forward to it! :) But it doesn't start until 8:30. My husband will miss almost of it because he has to go to bed early so he can be up between 4-5. I'm going to have to take a nap so I don't pass out watching it (I woke up extra early this morning). I know I'll have at least 2 of the kitties (well, they're all technically senior citizens 10,9,8) snuggled up with me, and there's a good chance I'll have the third there, too :) I'll allow myself 2 O'Douls. I miss beer when I watch football.

thank God for football and kitty cats. I totally understand the focusing on the jacket. you have been under so much pressure that i think the anxiety associated with the jacket is the lesser of the many evils. too bad there aren't cheer up pills to slip into your husband.

I am glad that you have the game to look forward to.:)

I wish I could slip him a couple of Klonopin ;)
