Good for you for going with the bike! It hits you in the ol' pocketbook for a bit, but glad you're doing something for you. You've done something that I've been contemplating doing since my sitch started. FIL rides, but he's in WI, but would love to ride with him sometime. Did you get people telling you were crazy to get a motorcycle license when you decided to do it? Every time I bring it up, someone tells me it's a stupid thing to do because I have 2 kids that need to be watched over. Apparently I have that "devil may care" look. Ha!
The alone hours are totally the hardest. Your mind wants to go all sorts of places, especially where WAW is concerned. I find that when it gets the toughest, I have to turn on a funny show on Netflix (The Office is always a winner) to keep my brain occupied. That or some of your favorite music and dance so goofy that you can't help but laugh at yourself.
Isn't it funny how the WAW tries to overcompensate for their absence with their children by buying them things? Doesn't part of you kind of scratch your head and say "You know...if you would just be a part of their life, it'd be worth far more than anything that you could buy them at the store..." But then again, that's just being rational...
Keep up the good work!
