Hi Venus...I hope you are feeling less overwhelmed? It's a terrible feeling and I am still figuring out healthy coping mechanisms myself. I hope you are getting some good feels today.

You are so lovely.

Mostly I am doing better.
But I don't think it would be believable to come out of the breakdown I had this week and say I am all good.
I am better.

And the good feels come....like you caring.....that means the world. ❤️

How are you feeling now?
Is it a bit better today? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Suze - Good news that you are feeling a bit better.

Please may I have another 24 sober hours? Thanks!

Hi friends- how is everyone holding up?
Suze, I'm glad you are feeling a litte bit better. I have been thinking of you today.

It's been an emotional roller coaster over here. I have at least 1-2 days a week where I am in tears all day and usually crying myself to sleep at night. The added stress of going through a divorce while everything else in my world is turned upside down is just a lot.

Having said that, there are some bright sides. I am getting better at "home" schooling. We've finally settled into a routine that works and we've got one more month to go. My 5 year old graduates from PreK this week. His teachers are going to drive to all of the student's homes to hand the kids their diplomas. It's going to be adorable!

Things at work are going well and I got/took a management position this week. The workload isn't going to be a huge adjustment but I'm adding about 5 hours to my week, including one 10 hour day a week. It will be worth it, I am sure.

My ex and I are not getting along today. It's one of these days where we are better off communicating through email. I feel like I am doing all of the work in regards to the divorce agreement while he is busy looking for a new home. I totally get that he is focused on that, but I am getting resentful that he can't keep on track with the things the lawyer needs. I've been asking him to come up with a list of things he wants to take with him from the house, for the last 2+ months and he still doesn't have that list for me. I spent 6+ hours working on a COVID-19 custody plan (no childcare) and he can't seem to spend an hour on creating an alternative plan for when schools are back in session. I feel like I have to do everything and I find that frustrating. I call all of our meetings and send all of the emails with this information. He just sits there and responds instead of taking any initiative to help get this agreement done so we can divorce already.

Ugh. Sorry. Just feeling frustrated.
I did have a wonderful, 2 hour Zoom call with my besties today. It's the 3rd one we've had since all of this started.
Okay, need to get these boys showered and then play a card game before bedtime.
Lots of love to all of you and may this week be kinder than the last.

Card game did not go as planned. He gave up when he was losing and so I came back up to my bedroom. I spend most of my nights alone up here, when my ex is home. He tends to watch tv with the boys and there is no reason for me to be in there as well since we are usually not getting along. So I come up to my room. I even eat my dinner in here. It's just easier than being around him.
Sigh.

Grateful for you as well, dear Suze. I hope you feel even better tomorrow. We all need just a little break from these emotional ups and downs.

Oh I'm glad to hear you are on the mend. Hopefully everyday you feel closer to peaceful.
I'm putting one foot in front of the other. It has been so important that I haven't drank through this stuff. I don't have much sober time and have had a relapse cycle because I have been coping with escapism through alcohol for a long time. Now I am really working on recovery. This is good, even though I am feeling down.

Time is our friend.

I'm glad to see my father back to normal. He's been working outside in the yard without any issues now. At least I have that to be thankful for.
Checking in for 24.

Hi,

Feeling ehhh again .....

My sweet Ken wants my “ok” to start going to join his band mates in practices. Their drummer is getting married end of June. A Wedding with lots of guests, full on reception & the band is providing the music. The happy couple won’t cancel it. IF their chosen venue cancels , well then it’s postponed.

I am being totally selfish, I want my hubby safe. Ken says he will be and will practice social distancing & wear a mask. Huh?????? How is that gonna work ....

Of course, the members insist the band get together IN Person —- NO ZOOM etc etc

My HP is in control. Me , mere mortal, is not.
Sigh ....

In for my next 24
Bobbi
