Helo Friends,

Just checking in again.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately. Work isn't going well (new leader who seems intent on bringing on some of her old peers and letting some us regulars go) and I miss W and D like crazy.

I haven't heard from W in a while so it's not a by-product of us being contact. I just miss my partner and friend.

D started at her new school today and I wished her luck. It really just hammers home that this all real and I really am not her step-dad anymore.

I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety as I am uncertain how work will play out. It's scary to think there's a real world possiblity that I could be single and unemployed with not much to fall back on.

Perhaps Im just in one of the "5 phases of grief" or whatever but I seem to be struggling more than I have in the last 4 months.

Im trying to keep faith that everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
