We did purchase a dog bed, which does help him to sleep better.
My W and I spent some time again at the pool. As soon as I came home from work, she was ready to go out and be active. I used the time to practice my Breast stroke, and to venture out into deep water (with a belt) to practice Treading water. Swimming is helping me to tone my upper body, as I don't enjoy lifting weights. I feel stronger after I've been in the water. I'm getting more comfortable being in water over my head. I'm not ready to try it without a belt. My next lesson is tomorrow.
It sounds like she has October as a target to begin actively job hunting. I won't push the issue for now. The bills are getting paid, even though there's less disposable income.
I sent her an email giving her ideas for daytrip weekend activity, as another trip seems stressful to me. I think we need to keep her busy. I told he I would willing to take a hiking trip, and bring the dog. I also told her to plan a barbeque and invite some people over. I invited her to tag along with my brother and I to a baseball game next week.
We have our dance performance in late September, so I don't think we should miss any practice sessions, by being on another trip. Our weekend dance trip is in two weeks. I think she can wait until then.
I keep attempting to write poetry as a way of dealing with the haunting memories I have about the past, and anything else that needs expression and clarity.
