I've got a huge list, and I keep adding to it, but I can never decide which thing to talk about, and we'll never get through the entire list. I make new lists that are current, but still never get to more than usually one item if that much.

Today it worked out, but ended up starting out with me being late because I had to go find a new oil cap for my car before driving that far (I noticed that it was missing when I checked the oil before leaving). I started with apologizing for being late, and trying to take responsibility for waiting until the last minute to make sure the car was ready to go, so in essence I started with what I did wrong, again. T helped me see that I could have presented it the other way, emphasizing that I had a problem and I dealt with it, and called to keep her updated on what was going on and that I would be late. Apparently I am much more comfortable with scathing criticism than I am with praise of any kind. It is hard to acknowledge that I ever do anything right.
