28 Jan

 Starting off the day too early with heat packs on my neck back and hip.  It was a great day for n me yesterday beautiful sunshine lots of runs good turns on great snow. Heckin wimdy though   

A. V. S. P .today 

I just wound my way through emails and websites at 5 am on a Tuesday morning, on my phone no less. All stuff that would have been phone calls or letters and photos earlier in my life. Technology is amazing and a bit scary anymore. 

But really the most extraordinary thing is that in sitting up in a bed of my second marriage to a wonderful beautiful woman drinking coffee and reading a nothing novel. And pretty okay with my life. Am I still just marking time till the end or am I living a life?

Not much else cause winter. 

I wish I could stop getting irritated at Princess cause she says stupid shit all the fucking time. If I say I only need one meal don’t fucking say are you sure? Because it a long shift. If I get hungry it’s my fault not up for discussion. I love her voice but why is the only time I can’t hear her is when she’s talking to me. I can hear her all the time she’s talking to anyone else. Oh and if we need to shovel snow because dog prints don’t fucking let them out while we’re shoveling for fucks sake. Maybe I’m just easily irritated or quashed to many feelings down. JUST THINK BEFORE YOU SAY IT IF ITS STUPID SHUT THE FUCK UP. 

whew it feels good to vent. 

P. S. I wearing a jacket I’ve had for 20  years it’s still warm and comfortable. 

15 Jan

 Took M to the ski area. 

Made it through yesterday without tears. Only because I stayed very busy same with today as well i suppose. The tears will come hope when I’m alone and can let them down. I  chose to suppress my emotions once again. 

She was only 49 yo

 😢

Sent this to my boys  

The ball was big today. Your mother has been gone 11 years today and I still miss her every day. Luckily I had patrolling duty at A. V.  in the morning and we took Miles sledding in the afternoon to keep busy. 

We’ll keep moving forward your mom believed in us and we owe it to her to live a life she would be proud of. 

Love you guys. 

Dad.

10 January

 I don’t know if it’s the darkness lurking or just sadness approaching slowly. We would have heard 4 days left. I don’t know of a word for pre-sadness but that just might be it. 

Yoga effed off. 

Shed, hammock, heater = nap.

 6 degrees this morning. Sunny and cold. Walking the dogs and lifting weights were about all I had in me to do. 

The darkness is still lurking close by.

Light gray day 

1-3-2025

 Didn’t deserve much. It still seems like the time between Christmas and New Year. 

My head is neither dark or bright just kinda gray. Susan is doing a lighthouse puzzle that was given to Pat years ago. It’s not a trigger but a reminder of what was my former life. 

Second day of the year.

Princess rolled over and started fondling me last night. Nice I love direct foreplay. 

Not much else really to say. We did a yoga and some chores I finished a book. 

2025

 Decided to start this up again cause I don’t know why. 

Christmas was nice saw the grandkids and my boys. 

Princess and I are getting along pretty well  

Did a pump today to kinda offset the pizza I ate New Year’s Eve. Snowboarding is going well. I feel pretty confident in my O. E. C. Skills. Fixed my old boots. I think my head is as ok as it’s ever gonna get.  

So far so good we’ll see what 25 brings
