Wife walked aways (two months ago now) new thread

For me the biggest challenge has been no sense of normalcy. I am at the house for the first time in a week and a half.

I showered in my own shower (for a week at least), with my own shampoo and conditioner (my beard has been pretty rough this past week).

I went to the post office, paid some bills (no martyring, practicing self care). I threw some pork in the crock pot when I got home last night, and went to the grocery store and shopped for some vegetables.

I had to have one quick call for work, then I watched some TV and took a short nap. I have been pushing so hard, with getting sick, driving the car and the W's bunny across america, Vail for 5 days and then Tx for 2.

Finally, for a short time, I'm in a "safe place" where I can feel grounded. I hope when I get to Tx I feel this grounded. I want to feel like I am at home.

But for now, I am packing a house up alone. The worries and stresses of life dominating my focus. Just trying to get my mind off the hard stuff for little time, to be refreshed.

Luckily I hear my S8 giggling in the background. Thank god for his laughter, it is amazing to hear.
