Don't forget the little things, like relationships.

My wife (after nearly 10 years) is beginning to work with me on things.

I've told her countless times that if she just gives me a verbal list of tasks, I'll handle one, maybe two if they're small, and the rest is gone.

Text me. Email me. Write it down. Let me reference it later. I'm not trying to get out of I honestly got distracted and forgot. Why was I distracted? Well, there are 11 animals in this house, not to mention phones and computers and TVs and yeah.... Plus, any time I try to accomplish anything, she tries to add more to the list (verbally) and it fucks me all up.

A list. Simple, succinct. If I run out of shit to do, I'll let ya know.

Its hard some days.

I've literally gone out to a corner store to pick up wine for later, and had her text me adding crap, and I never wound up getting the wine. Totally forgot.

That was why I left the house in the first place. It was the only place I had planned to go!
