Saw a pop up news headline the other day.  Christina (of Flip or Flop fame on HGTV, and apparently Flop on marriage) recently squeezed out a puppy with her 2nd DH and now two-ish years after marrying DH #2  is divorcing DH #2.  All after apparently having her second child in an effort to shore up the marriage with her first DH.  That anyone would consider breeding as a relationship saving effort is mind boggling to me.

Why do so many people married to prior relationship breeders waste so much time, energy, and their happiness on delving into why their SO's X is toxic and their SO's prior failed family breeding experiments are ill behaved PITA wastes of reproductive fluids, or why our own SOs are incapable of behaving decently towards us?

Why do those married to failed wives, husbands, and parents tolerate the seemingly endless crap that comes along with the choice of SO?

I had a follow up with my Opto wizard today.  He advised a second injection in my eye. So we went with that model.

Things were a bit different this time.  They dilated my gimpy eye, scanned my retinas, etc... applied numbing drops then he injected the eye with lidocaine instead of doing a lidocaine application with a cotton swab.  Then he injected the medication in. I was not expecting 2 needles. 

I will return in a month for the LASER procedure if the blood leakage has reduced enough.

At 02:00  in the middle of the night my phone pinged.  I heard it but did not check it.  It turned out to be a message from the kid.

He got E-6!  Woo hoo!  My kid is a USAF Tech Sgt.  Or will be when it is official on Monday.

His mom and I are very proud of him.  

She and I said our good byes this AM as she was leaving for work.  I fell back to sleep, I'm one of those fortunate people who can pretty much fall asleep instantly,  and came flying out of bed when I heard a gasp and sob from the living room.  She came running into the bedroom sobbing "He got it!".
