So, Flash Gordon of all things continues to be a stress factory. But that's been the same post for the last three months. How about other sources of stress:
--My bride is still waiting for her social security card, as it's the last thing she'll need to be able to work.
She understandably wants to get on with it.
--My bride's sister and husband are in town for a week, visiting from Calgary. Let's put it this way, I love them both and they are both individually nice people, but good lord, their passive-aggressive tendencies with each other and then by extension, anyone around them, have helped given birth to my first full-blown acid reflux attack. In addition, my wife and I have gotten into heated argument, not over our own issues, but over theirs.
--We took them to Disneyland on Saturday, the happiest place on earth and the place we were engaged... only to have the lamest trip ever. We discovered my wife's sister's husband gets motion sickness...AFTER we had gone on Space Mountain. He spent the rest of the day pukey and cranky. Our $300 digital camera was ruined after an unopened bottle of water chose to burst open in my wife's bag. My In-laws got into one of their many kerfuffles over whether or not to buy an Eeyore doll. And there was no fucking Churros. Seriously...we went to three different stands and they were all out.
--They were going on a side trip to San Diego today, but it turns out San Diego is on fire... so they are still in town for another two days.
In gooder news, hey my wife and I have each other. And we love each other more, even under all the extra stress...so yeah, that's pretty cool.

Good luck with the bride's social security card. Except, who will cook and clean for you once she's working?
The in-laws sound like my parents. Yeah, there's a reason I don't like spending time with them.
