Today wasn't a bad day, we didn't start fighting first thing in the morning. In fact breakfast was very civil. But maybe thats because he was still sleeping when I was downing orange juice and toast. I've still got the sniffles but I don't think its turning into a cold, more likely its just allergies kicking in. I really should make an appointment and get a prescription for Zyrtec. Pam recommended it; she says it works great for her.

Speaking of Pam, she has Lily this weekend while Connor and his father are off to Nashville to check out the Speed and Sound Festival. A bunch of country stars and NASCAR drivers are going to be performing to raise money for Kyle Petty's Victory Junction Gang Camps. It's a great cause, something Joe loves to support and Connor is going to be over the moon getting to see race cars and drivers up close. I'm a little surprised Pam didn't go along as well; maybe her and Joe are still working on a few things themselves and this was a good opportunity for them to spend some time apart. God knows Chris and I have lots of experience with that.

After breakfast I decided avoidance was the best idea so I spent most of the day at the restaurant. Clay probably would have preferred to have his office to himself, but he's sweet enough not to say anything. He popped in every once in a while to bring me food, and probably to see if there was any chance I was leaving soon. But he didn't press me and I think that's why I feel comfortable going to Grisoles. He gives me space and listens when I want to talk, the rest of the time he provides the food and the chuckles.

It was a quiet day and I'd like to say that I spent it weighing my options. But I didn't. If I'm being honest, I'd say I'm avoiding the whole subject. That's why I spent the day hiding out at the restaurant. But one of these days I'm going to have to face things - whether I like it or not.
