Part 19 - keeping on keeping on

[edz]

And good morning to everyone.

Sunny with cloud here which sums up my mood at the moment.

Generally feeling rather good (a little frustrated with another plateaux in the weight loss but then food kept creeping up on me this weekend).

W was fb messaging me yesterday about WFT (poorly eye) home education and other bits. Stopped while she went to MIL obviously. Dropped her a quick message at 9 to say hope she had a nice dinner speak soon. and she replied but just letting me know s has been rather stressfull with her. All relates to transitions between things youtube/games/tv to bath/bedtime/teeth/sleep.

Validated her feelings, easy since Ive seen these behaviours and have to help s get past them and what I think he's going through as a pre teen as well.

After a bit of chat we bounced around things we can do as a family, houses, tv (I was watching - mostly - game of thrones) and we said good night.

This morning sent her an article I found online connected with bedtimes and just said catch up later and reminded her (in connection with a chat at the weekend) she doesnt have to lift all the responsibilities alone anymore.

So not expecting much bar some work today, was going to go and get a haircut but forgot and gelled it and now cant be bothered washing it out again so I'll do that tomorrow, I need a few bits for the food cupboard but money is uber tight this month (not least thanks to another £112 energy bill ow!) so will walk up and just get whats needed at lunchtime. Not sure if swimming is on the agenda tonight, little under par today so if s wants to come round we may do something else as we went on sunday,

So still feeling good about myself (bar this wobbly middle!) and the sitch seems stable if not in one of its galloping ahead stages which seems to be the pattern of late. W hasnt mentioned speaking to MIL so I think its safe to say she hasnt, I'd guess (educated since we did speak last week around it) that she's waiting until we find somewhere to move and will tell her when she gives notice to minimise fallout. Not saying thats right or wrong as its very definitely something she has to do herself in her way, I dont want MIL being a thing in a new relationship either as an active participant in w's life or me getting any kind of attachment to her exiting it.

Cheers all, catch you later.
