I confess that baling hay Monday afternoon was miserable. Flat Stanley, the boy that ran himself over, is able to drive now but no stacking yet. So he drove and I loaded wagons. 400 bales 60 pounds each wore me down. Dipping my hat in the coolers ice water helped, but I haven't felt this tired for a while. And the temp was in the mid nineties.

I confess that I really need to do something about my wifes drinking. She wanted some ice cream last night, and was eating it in bed. I think she had been drinking most of the day. So anyways I was out in the barn loading hay on a trailer. When I came in at 1 in the morning. I noticed the lid on the counter to her ice cream. Thought that was weird because I know she nevers eats all her ice cream, and I figured she was eating it around 11. So I went in the bedroom to see if she had put it on her night stand. Nope.

She fell asleep holding it. It fell over on the bed getting all over our bed spread comforter thingy. And then fell off the bed and became a big melted goo on the carpet. Luckily my dog cleaned that part up when I told him to.

So now the comforter has to go to the cleaners.

Plus when she is drinking she says stupid stuff and then I say something smart back and she is more willing to fight when she has been drinking, so we usually wind up argueing.

Also she appears to have gained more weight. I know I was obese for quite a while. And still could lose a few pounds. But since she is petite just a little weight gain is easily detected. And she gains it all in her belly. Honestly I am starting to avoid sex as I don't find her that attractive anymore and the belly a little disturbing. A few years back she told me that if I lost some weight she might want to have sex with me more often. Now I think I am going to have to tell her the same thing.
