Hey H. True. We managed an ok ride down, despite torrential rain. The funeral was a nice service and military burial. I took the family out afterwards. It was ok.
Jack - read Watership Down part of the way.
The process of planning for 6 months away hasn't been easy. The stress triggers these ups and downs, and conflists with W, which I'm particularly sensitive to. Her reaction is to pull away, and ignore. Anyway, as I've mentioned before, this only happens with my W. Other things in life, I handle pretty well. W thinks it's anxiety. Maybe she's right, though I'm calm about almost everything else.
Dissapointed in myself. I do really need to relax about this though, and have a little faith, and fun.
