Thank you Thomas. I know this too shall pass...and you are right I am not nearly as worried about my sister in law coming to stay, it's just another minor irritation on top of a heap of them, but I can handle that. I guess since sobering up I am still struggling with the concept of delayed gratification, and the idea that the world does not always behave according to our wants and needs.
