I don't want to be on my pontoon boat. I wish to be dropped off in a sheltered cove, perhaps with a bottle of wine, and left to myself for the day... the family can have the food, the tube rides, everything on the boat....
This new strategy 'should'....
keep me isolated from the fighting... "MY TURN ON THE TUBE".... "DON'T DO THAT".... "I DON'T WANT THIS COVE"...."THAT MUSIC IS OLD FASHIONED"...
This new plan 'should' keep me isolated.. it won't. You see... shared misery is not only expected but demanded. Should any of my family look over and see me even slightly at 'rest/peace' it will not be tolerated. That's where the wine comes in.
