It was pretty bad last night. Freezing rain started falling just before dinner time and did not stop until around 6:30 AM tis morning. So I did not fly last night or this morning, which sorta sucked cuz I had to sit and wait it out to see if the morning would improve enough for me to go at sun-up. But there was more than a half inch of ice on the runway and as a result, the airport was closed. So ..long story short, I slept in the snooze room last night on a couch (not too bad) but only for about 4.5 hours. Then I woke up and waited another 1-2 hours before they cancelled me and told me I could go home. I wish they would have just cancelled it last night so that I could have slept in my own bed. Oh well, ..can't have everything. I was getting paid .
Today had kind of a relaxing feel to it. I guess I am slowly getting into vacation mode for next week.
I now have a roomate (since the 1st). He is a best friend of mine who I have known for about 10 years. He and I are both pilots. We are both M'd too ...and are both experiencing the separation thing. In his case, he is the WAH after 14-15 years of M. So we are trying to support each other and learn from each other.
Got a bunch of bills paid today. And then watched about 3/4's of Little Miss Sunshine ..which I am liking so far.
Just didn't get much sleep today. Kinda weird cuz I put my blinders and ear plugs in, which usually does the trick, and I sorta dozed off for what seemed like several hours but when i came back to and was ready to hop out of bed I discovered I had only been there for maybe an hour and a half. That sucked. Then I promised myself that I would take a nap later but i failed to do that. So I am gonna have to go straight to bed tonight.
I really like smartcookie's new thread "Time for rest".
gotta VM from my beautiful darling. She was just checking to see how I was and seemed to want to talk. I rang her back and she let me know that she was heading out to p/u SD20 from the airport. Her and the xh were going to p/u their D20 together by the sound of it. Seems like when he is in the vicinity of where she is shen she is talking to me that she gets kinda short with me ..and certainly know ILY.
I think she might have wanted to discuss more of her thoughts about this cosmetic surgery that she so badly wants to have done. I hope and pray that she feels the Lord reaching out to her about all this. I have informed my darling that I will have to pray on the matter of the surgery and I will let her know what I feel compelled to do after I have had a chance to pray to the Lord about it. I know that I can't go wrong with that plan.
She said she would call me late tonight to talk after picking up her daughter. So we'll see.
Just trying to get back on track after having kinda overslept this AM.
It has been a long while since I have felt solidly in control of the things that I ought to be solidly in control of. Just taking too many things for granted right now it seems.
It all starts with the continued absence of running, weight training, proper nutrition, etc. What a world of difference that makes when I manage to adhere to doing those things to properly take care of my body. Guess I will start small and try to get a walk in today and then gradually build from there.
My vacation starts in just under 48 hours. I am soooo looking forward to that.
**** Another indication and affirmation of just how well the Lord takes care of me. I headed out the door of my apartment yesterday afternoon to fetch something from my truck and just as I was stepping off the one step that is part of the walkway, my feet shot out from under me entirely and my body and head were heading rather rapidly and awkwardly toward the concrete step. I was blessed and incredibly fortunate to be able to catch myself with both my hands to cushion my fall. My head had to have come awfully close to the concrete step. But within perhaps less than a second I picked myself up and was pretty amazed for that type of fall that I did not even sustain a scratch. Phewwwww! The area of my left hip feels a little tender and sore as if I twisted something around it though. Coulda been a ton worse though. Like ...ambulance ..worse.
Thank you Lord. Kinda didn't need any additonal bills from a hospital or otherwise.
Keep your head up. The Lord might have something to show ya ..other than your feet.
In his case, he is the WAH after 14-15 years of M.
that has to be God intended...for you guys to get together that is. I would think you definitely can both learn from each other.
how is he feeling? is he totally sure about walking, or confused? what does he say about you standing?

He is hard headed and confused. Seems to think it is a game ..and maybe it is. He felt invalidated and disrespected for a very long time. So he drew and line in the sand and then because of having boxed himself in he had to walk ..he felt.
