tomorrow all 3 kids will be off for two weeks with their maternal family. it's tough to stastify, but methinks i'm running about 50-50 on looking forward to the time off from childcare and anxiety attacks over what antics the maternal family might pull. at present, we know them more for their litigious nature than their day-to-day lifestyle. who expects to get to know their son's in-laws very well? the past 3 years have brought much stability to the situation, but remains new enough that none of us are overly confident of the sustainability of our fledgling business-as-usual.


methinks we are holding steady through the uncertainty, but thought i'd reach out here, just in case.

Here's to success with this challenge and that the kids are able to manage it well enough to be comfortable when they return to you.

It will definitely be a change.

Standing with you in support.

thank you, mid. we've been working this visitation routine since about three times a year since the parents died in september, 2019. they missed a few, that's about half a dozen or so times we've run this gauntlet. so far, so good. i am glad the mother's family cares enough to make the effort and let the children know a little about what their other halves are made of.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
