I started to get frustrated with my wife this morning because there are a bunch of spoiled eggs taking up space in the refrigerator, but I realized that my true frustration is with wasting food when I don't currently have an income. We sat on the couch and smoked a joint while watching a church service, and that always leads to a good conversation. I told her I am now physically recovered enough to be frustrated that I am not out working, when I really want to be. I got one call back on Friday from an HR manager wanting to schedule an in-person interview, so I realize I am eventually going to have to make a trip 3-5 hours south to get to know the neighborhood we are wanting to move into. I'm hoping to schedule several interviews in a 2-3 day period a few weeks from now, so that the trip is productive. I don't know how it's going to work out but I am unsettled watching my account balance dwindle away in the meantime. Without trying to make it sound like a criticism, I know my wife will never recognize there is a problem until the day she goes to buy food and doesn't have enough money. I know that I am responsible for maintaining the quality of life for my wife and dog and cat, and I have got a risky plan taking us forward because I don't believe we can keep doing things the way they have been done. All these insecurities are legitimate concerns I need to stay aware of, but it would not be right for me to project my frustrations onto my wife as though it is her fault.
