Lisa denies that Bart has ever become violent when under the influence, but he typically rants and rages, and sometimes vomits and soils himself. She cleans up the mess. She’s even bought him alcohol because he’s convinced her that if he suddenly stops, he may die.
You can respond to these overtures with: “I understand that ‘Matt’ is not well, and I’m genuinely sorry for what the family is going through. I’m working on forgiveness, and understand that this could be important for Matt. Of course, I will accept Matt’s apology, but I don’t feel ready to see him in person.”
Snow cover is good for your garden, as it will insulate against any intense cold and fluctuating winter temperatures. The snow cover will help mitigate the temperature extremes and reduce the penetration of cold on days and nights when temperatures are very cold (in the teens and below). Without snow, the ground can freeze more deeply. Plants that were produced in containers and installed last year can heave out of the ground because of the freeze/thaw cycles that typically occur in late winter and early spring, if they were not mulched last fall. Think of the snow as mulch for your garden, in addition to creating a beautiful winter scene.

Avoid cat and dog manure, meat, dairy products, bones, fish, fats, and oils, as these items can cause odors that attract unwanted animals and insects. Also, your compost pile will likely not get hot enough to kill any pathogens that might be present in some of these waste products. In addition, avoid adding pressure-treated lumber or sawdust, charcoal, weeds with seeds and colored or glossy paper.
You should email, text, or call her. Say, “It was great to see you in the office. Susan mentioned how sick you’ve been! I had no idea, and I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’re on the mend and feeling a little better every day. I’d love to catch up when you feel up to it.”

I suggest that you and your wife might want to “pitch” to each other in a scheduled and formalized setting (even if it is at your kitchen table), presenting your ideas, plans, and market research, followed by a frank discussion about the pros and cons of each business. She critiques your plan, you critique hers, and you both discuss – as a team.
