Could complain, but find it doesn't do much to help the situation even if you consider the squeaky wheel thing. If it gets too bad venting once in a while does help retain civility.

Long Days - Make the weekends that much better.

Gout - Quit eating organ meats and eat some cherries for relief. Cherries can be any kind or style. Friend managed his gout that way, when it came back and the cherries didn't help it wasn't gout it was some kind of bone spur.

SIL - Entertain yourself by making a game out of being happy and smiling all the time, look for the humor in anything that would normally get on your nerves. Everyone will think you are on drugs. Example: have a brother that believes Jesus was an extraterrestrial and that brother also has a gift for being very irritating. When he tried to get me involved in his extraterrestrial stuff told him I loved science fiction and to tell me more about it. He doesn't bother me about it at all, even when I ask about it. But if you are resistant, he won't shut up.
