@Val As my friends down under like to say in keeping with the stereotype. Eh, no worries mate.
We all have down days. I don’t post about them much as generally they are short lived. I need to feed the endorphin monkey more consistent meals though. STBX took the treadmill and I need to replace my shoes again. I am hoping for snow deep enough to CC ski in. Last year the number of days in my neck of the woods with accumulated snow was amazing.
We’ll keep mom at home as long as possible. STBX is a nurse with many years experience in long term and hospice care. She used to be part of the equation. We will find a way without her to keep mom comfortable. Mom is a tough lady, farm raised during the depression she has experienced her share of hardship. She possesses a resilience and attitude toward life to emulate. She could fool us all.
Yeah the tunnel is dark some days, on others not so much. I keep building small fires in mine. I use GAL and family and the people here as fuel to keep them burning.
The fires are for me. I used to hear STBX moving out beyond the firelight. No more. She has scuttled off to some dank corner convinced she’ll be happier there. I wish her well. Emotionally I am no longer lingering on reconciling. Most of my frustrations here deal with deflecting the attacks that are still launched. She is stuck in some anger stage and occasionally lobs one in. Usually a day or two after someone on FB pats me on the back. She still finds a button or two to graze occasionally, but can’t seem to get on target any more.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
