Jak, Today's packing day. We leave tomorrow for Hawaii.
I don't always sleep in the marital bedroom. Last night I heard her running a bath. This usually means that she is preparing to sleep elsewhere. She ran a bath last night. I was surprised to see her car still here this morning.
She struggles with bouts of coughing. It's frustrating that she's not being proactive about her health. I don't understand how someone can continue to do harm to their body.
I hope that this vacation gets her on a better path to managing stress and practicing self-care.
One of the helpful aspects of DB is that it trains you to be aware of your patterns and being willing to try something different. The process of evaluation and modification is constant.
My guess is that I need to be willing to take regular vacations at least twice per year, for no less than one week each. My pattern has been to take one vacation per year. My W and I haven't travelled since March 07'.
We're taking a laptop with us, so I should be able to keep up with things on the internet.
