I\u2019m writing for tomorrow and feeling much more awake than I did yesterday.  I cleaned the apartment, had groceries delivered and put them away and organized my desk for tomorrow’s task.  It will be my day to do the annual paperwork our non-profit prison volunteer group.  Depending on how long that takes, I may or may not have articles for tomorrow.  Day 17.<\/font><\/p>\n

Yes, it absolutely could. If the husband is an insecure jackass whose sense of self is tied to money and having his wife be subordinate to him.<\/p>\n
