Night.

The Best:

I have overlooked petty things that my husband has done that I might have gotten myself worked up about. It's what's good for me, so I'm glad I'm able to do it.

The Worst:

I am resentful for having done more of the housework and more of the work of taking care of the dogs. I don't know how to resolve this issue if my husband doesn't want to do more. I suppose my only option is to accommodate and to know that he's doing the best he can.

Night.

The Best:

I took good care of my dogs.

The Worst:

I can't stop being furious with my husband for leaving me in this situation. I can't stop thinking about how it's never going to end. I'm tired.

Morning.

The Best:

I'm trying to find a home for a puppy we found yesterday. I hope to do something really good by finding her a good home...make an animal and a person happy.

The Worst:

I'm kind of falling apart. I'm not taking very good care of myself lately. I need to get more sleep and eat better. Sometimes I forget that I'm a person, and I need caretaking, too.

Afternoon.

The Best:

I took my doggy for a long, wonderful walk. She had a great time, as did I. I love to take the both of us on walks together. I don't know why it seems always to take me so long to remember how wonderful it is for the both of us.

The Worst:

I am preparing for lying. My family is coming to visit me, and I am getting all kinds of things ready to hide my husband from them. This character defect is my largest and my most destructive: keeping secrets. I am not sure what is up with my need to have a secret life all the time, but it is exhausting and unhealthy. I hope that I am growing past this long-standing habit.

Evening.

The Worst:

I neglected to tell anyone that I threw the soup can back at him. Hah!

The Best:

I picked up the dog poop when I walked her...and she pooped TWICE. I don't want anyone dropping any turds in my life and leaving them, though, so I figured it's the right thing to do.

Hah again!
