I felt like a huge part of my life was gone, like I was a failure. Fortunately, I have some amazing friends who, after an extended time period, reminded me of just who the hell I am.(lol). Trust me, it will get better. Thank you! And I'm so sorry about your first marriage. I'm glad you had that support though! And thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hällregn Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Warm and content. The whole week was rush, rush, rush. It was nice spending time with my grandmother today. I love to listen to her talk about her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hällregn Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Was able to get a decent workout this afternoon. Making plans to help my mother find where her grandfather was born. Excited to see where my family came from. Going to be a bit of a journey though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatofan1986 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I'm a bit down today. I had been looking forward to things to try and be active and make new friends and they were all a bust. It was like being in High School again. And the worst was yesterday, therapy didn't go well. I would go into it but it would take too long to explain, but, the short general story is, with very little information, he tried to blame the breakup on me, because I didn't travel to meet them 'RIGHT NOW', I say "I can't fly right now" Pointing to my walking boot, and instead of him saying "Oh, what's going on with that?" and THEN making a decision, he says, "Can't? Or don't want to?" .... I. Cannot. Fly. Doctors. Orders. ... I am a kind person, and if therapy means I have to hear some hard truths, that's fine, but don't blame me for having surgery and literally not being able to fly right now. I wasn't even done describing the different factors of the breakup! I'm stuck because, it took me a month and a half to see him, so I kind of want to give him one more chance, but I don't see him for two more weeks, and I almost think I should just try somewhere else. (But I live in a really small town and there aren't many options.) Sorry for my rant! Edited June 14, 2022 by Takatofan1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Today I'm sad. I've just been told that a friend of mine has died. Given their age and health problems it wasn't totally unexpected, but it's still a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hällregn Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) It's been a good journey. Got a second job repairing instruments for the brass section of orchestra/bands. I do welding, soldering, dent-work and wash. Just until early Autumn. Currently sharing a station with three other amazing repair techs. Spoiler I'll be moving into a new home soon too, possibly in the new year—early Spring. That way my mother can move in and I can take care of her better. There's two extra bedrooms for future planning. I'm in a good place to start a family and put down some roots. Looking forward to that particular chapter in life. Other than that it's been the usual. Hobbies, always learning and coming into new creative projects. Hope everyone has a fresh week ahead!

My father passed away in 2015 and the first Father's Day without him was the hardest, although it never really gets any easier as the years go by. The same goes for Mother's Day. The best advice I was given was to pause and give thanks for all the love they gave me and all they meant to me and things they did for me, then move on with my life which is what they would want me to do. Crying a bit is OK too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takatofan1986 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I've been away for a week, I... have a rare medical condition and there was a camp to meet others who have it. It was a really great experience and I feel overwhelmed from meeting others who go through what I go through. But in a good way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value and amount of support you can gain from just meeting people with the same condition and who stand in the same place as you is beyond calculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Kinda bummed out, but excited at the same time. My next-door neighbors invited me to go up to Ohio with them to attend a tobacco pipe show in Columbus next weekend, but they had to cancel. I'm still planning to go by myself, if nothing comes up between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for now. Pipe-smoking is not in its heyday like it was at the beginning of the 20th century and has become a niche community. That, and government regulations and taxes on all tobacco products is getting more and more obnoxious. But that's another story for another day.
