Don't worry about anything about your marriage right now. It is what it is. It will be what it will be when you get back.
BTW, as an RA, non-alcoholic beer, you don't drink it because like you like it, you drink it because your want to caress the bottle, you want to smell it, and you want to drink it hoping that it gives you a buzz, when it doesn't, you get the real thing. Non-A beer taste really sucks, and you don't get what you want from it. I do feel it is the gateway back to hello. HELL O, I miss my old friend.
Oh, Amy, I wish I could go there but my mom is actually leaving on Wednesday and I am heading to CO to visit my sister and 2 cousins. My cousin is pregnant and has been trying for 10 years to get this to happen for them but she is having some pregnancy troubles. I am going to be spending time with her while her husband is traveling for work (he works for NASA and has to go to some conference).
I feel torn, but I'm also disappointed that my mom is leaving them on Wednesday because she feels that 'her house stuff' is more important. By house stuff, I mean her organic garden and harvesting the fruit and the veggies, etc. Her husband still works full time and barely has time to cut the grass on the farm, let alone take care of the bees and the garden and orchard. I wonder if my mom will regret it if she leaves, but that is her life and it's her choice.
I had already committed to going to CO about a month ago and have my airplane tix and car rental, etc already planned. My cousin's mom (my aunt) is most likely going to FL from GA after my mom leaves anyway.
UGH, there's so much going on, LOL!
And, then the NA beer crap. Yep, he's even admitted years ago that he liked the feel of the beer bottle and the habit of drinking even if it is NA beer. So, I'm already leery of his 'recovery'. I can only hope that this is just another roadblock for him and that he figures it out on his own. I have too much on my plate to really care about what he is or isn't doing.
Oh, and since I'm whining, LOL: I cannot wait for it to cool off in October around here! 110 degrees today and I tried to go for a run at 8 PM and I felt like my lungs were going to separate. Sooo, back to the gym I go. I will miss the outdoors, though, and I find that I get depressed on a treadmill because it can't compare to the trails and the outdoors! Oh well, I guess it's like winter in North Dakota, right? Just the opposite.
