Thank you Dawn, hearing you say that means a lot. I have hit a significant rough patch every year, and I just have to plow through them the best I can. I feel like I am a person who really has her sh!t together but other times, I think I might be losing it. I think they call that adulthood?
I do feel like I keep ending up with situations that test the strength of my heart and my ability to be strong and graceful. I have one situation that will always be there that will never go away, and that is my ex and his OWW. Forever, there affair will be in face. I can't hide from it. I had a suggested friend request on FB from OWW again. Her profile pic of them is a close up of the three of them. It hurts. It will always sting, but I have learned to tuck that hurt away.
The other night on ex's birthday I got a missed call from his at 2am. I don't know if he butt dialed me or drunk dialed me, or even worse, sex dialed me. I texted him in the morning and I said "wild birthday night, huh?" He just replied "yes". He's an interesting character.
Something else noteworthy that kind of blew me away.... D9 and I were having a conversation and she said whenever OW wife ties to teach or tell something to D9, she looks at ex, not at her because she is worried she is saying the wrong thing. I was simply blown away by this observation of a 10 year old. And she is right on target. He has a way of doing this to people. Blown away.
I am back in PT but can't do too much yet. I am in it for the long haul though, atleast through novemeber. Good news is, she says it will be a long road and we will get there slowly but she will have be doing plyometrics and box jumps and all my pre-injury activity. I am excited for that. Right now, I am just working on bending my knee to 90 degrees. Something I never thought would be so hard!
I go to hospice orientation tomorrow and for 5 hours I have to sit in a chair. It is surely going to cause me lots of pain, because I did it for 2 hours when I went out with friends last night and that was enough. And I had drinks to help. Hopefully it won't be too awful. My lovely coworkers all chipped in to get me a gift certificate to my favorite Chinese resturaunt so I don't have to cook too much. It was very sweet. So tomorrow night D9 and I will be doing our Chinese Friday she so loves.
Ellie,
I haven't read those books. I'm not big on self help, I have only read DR and forgive to forget. I have plenty of time to read so I will give them a shot, thanks!
