So I posted on another person's blog about how YSDstb14 pushed DH over the edge right after Christmas with her harmonica "playing" and his good/bad reaction to it.

Well last night she was all up in our faces telling these stupid knock knock jokes, one after the other, for an hour. I wasn't there for part of the time but I could hear it. When I came in she told three of them, then I told her no more, it's done. Then she went after DH...who asked her to change the subject. She refused and kept on. DH asked again, she kept on.

DH was doing well, but last night, whooo boy.

I was wondering what was up, he was actiing withdrawn and sad and as I told him "what's up with the frowny face tonight?"  I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.  He only gets like this when thinking about the whole PAS situation with SD16 (now 16!  two years almost since she sayonara'd out), BM and likely the holidays.  Because the holidays and birthdays 'trigger' him.  Although he won't admit it.

So DH replied to the counselor and BM about how the last email string has veered from estranged OSD to YSD, and no mention of OSD has taken place for some time which was the whole intent of hiring this person in the first place (she is one of the most expensive in town).

It's been a loooong fall so far.

I've been reading every so often but been so busy no time to post and no real major issues.

Changed jobs, so my stress level right off is a lot better. No more micromanagement!  I can work my days as I need to. It's been a lot of fun overall and meeting some really great people.  Same company, different department.
