Newbie post What to do now

[JustStunned]

Thanks BeingMe, I'm living on OTC cold meds now, It doesn't seem like flu. I'm coping.

Journaling: Last night our D called me to let me know she was home after dinner with W. She said she was sick over all the emotions she felt prior to meeting W. She was calling off work and had a paper to turn in tomorrow. I wanted to discuss her meeting with her mom, but I didn’t think it would be good for her. So I suggested she unwind, rest and get some sleep, calling off work should give her a few hours in the morning to finish her paper.

I feel bad our sitch is affecting her so much, but there is little more I can do about it than I am doing now.

Mom is very worried and sad about my sitch. She’s trying to hide it from me. D told me she was crying after remembering how much work I, Dad and her put into building our house and that it’ll probably be lost. We personally built about 75%. I have an intimate acquaintance with all of the foundation, framing, roofing and some of the finish work. W helped where she could. I remember one rainy fall night W and I only managed to layup 12 blocks in the foundation before the rain forced us to give it up

Three weeks ago W is sitting on the other side of the room expounding on the changes she is making and the self help books she is reading. She was very animated about the changes and how good they are for her professionally.

Then virtually no contact for two weeks, I was dark and trying to be busy. Last week W asks about one of the GAL activities I am doing and tells me she is just working, watching TV and hanging out with family and FB friends. Aside from monthly camping trips with me and visiting DILs mother twice a week these are the activities she did in our R almost every night.

I need another GAL activity. One she will find fascinating. We went repelling together for the first time last summer. She loved it. I wonder what costs are involved in sky-diving. Hey if she can have her MLC maybe I should too.
