M is a stress head. For years we've been trying to figure out ways to help him. Most of his medical problems arise from this. He never stops working or worrying. So last night I made him start a journal. We're doing it together. I give him a word prompt and we both write for 20 minutes. Then we read it out to each other. It was so much fun and the things we both wrote were so funny.

Had to do the shopping to day for Christmas. M's parents are boycotting it this year, so they came up for a visit a few weeks ago. We celebrated with them then. Some of our friends from M flying up on Christmas day. They've demanded a roast. M's put his hand up to cook it, which is fine by me. He might have to work in Christmas afternoon. It's all hands on deck for the silly season.
