It Has To Get Better
I guess maybe my achilles is mending. After a couple days of not feeling it, I decided to spin easy on the trainer tonight and see how it felt. I ended up putting in 30 minutes and it felt just fine. I’m SOO glad about that! Perhaps after a few more sessions I’ll be ready to get back outside and ride a little. Here’s hoping. This weekend was friggin’ busy! I painted baseboards & trim in the bathroom, and did quite a bit (like 4 loads) of laundry. Vacuumed too. It was LOADS of fun. Not!
I guess the real reason for the busy body weekend was to just keep my mind occupied. SO and I have been having a few problems lately so that’s kind of a drag. We’ve been together for about 10.5 years, and married for 5 of that. I’ve always heard that years 5-7 are the hardest. Well, it really seems like it right now. SO wanted a bit of space to clear the head, so they are crashing with a mutual friend for what I hope is just a few days. I’ve got a lump in the pit of my stomach that just won’t go away.
It’s a very scary time. The fear of not knowing what is going on is difficult for sure. With a house we can’t afford singly and 5 furr kids it makes it even more so. I can only imagine what someone would be feeling who had children. I know we are strong enough to beat this. SO is one of the strongest, most caring people I know. I also know that there is some crazy stuff spinning in their head that I can’t necessarily help them with; until they want it that is. So, I just have to be a supportive spouse and do the best I can. Please send us good thoughts and prayers.
