A Look into the Life of a Crazy Dutchman

I just arrived at school. Out of 75 people I’m the only one keeping distance, very annoying

I’m so sorry to hear about your step-dad. But as you said, at least you’ll get the possibility to be there for him.

And we’re here for you if you need us. :heart:

Thanks, it will likely/hopefully be at least 5 years until he passes and under the right circumstances he can grow old, but these aren’t the right circumstances. He has a lot of nerve problems causing him pain and making him unable to walk at the moment. Which causes lots of stress and because he can’t make hormones that takes a physical toll on him. His ex-wife is a bitch, they had a lovely marriage until he got cancer, she hates him because he got cancer. I understand if you don’t want to see someone deteriorate, but hating them for it crosses the line big time. She even tried setting his children up against him, but she is getting less and less successful luckily. And like I mentioned before he’s becoming diabetic. And he may have intestinal cancer. We will find out next week.
But luckily I am no longer a stress factor.
Despite all this shit he is able to make the best out of life. He is a great role model and I’m happy to have him

Just discovered that my stepdads nerve issues may be ALS. Every damn time you think he can’t get more illnesses, he gets even more. So sick of this bullshit.

Good morning everyone, almost afternoon here.
I have gotten so tired over the last two days. I’ve cycled about 80km/48miles, I swam 2km/1,2miles which is a lot for me since I never swim, worked 2 days in a row of which once on the beer isle, which was very heavy. I’ve been sleeping like shit the last days due to heat and woken up early. Yesterday it didn’t take lon to sleep in despite it being the hottest day this year and I didn’t wake up until an hour ago so that’s great. My knees hurt a bit though, probably from being way more active than usually.

I am such a dumbass, I just smacked my head in to a chair, I wanted to throw my head on the blanket, but hit the iron thing underneath it with my upper jaw.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your stepdad. Mine was great, too. He always thought the best of me even when I screwed up. Take care.
My grampa immigratedto US from Sweden. He called me his svenskafila. Spelling? I think it means granddaughter?? I wish I would have learned more about his early life and it’s too late now. :unicorn:
I’ve looked things up on Ancestry.com but the records are in Swedish and a very fancy cursive handwriting style.

Explains a lot haha

Sorry for late answer. I answered your PM and I can read cursive in both Swedis and English. A lot of people emigrated to US or America as they called it from Sweden to get a better life. And very much are actually saved as records. There’s a place in Gothenburg right buy the Harbor called the Emigration house (Emigrant huset) they might be able to help with some more information :blush: I’ll help you check it out if you need.

I knew it was bound to happen soon. I started using nailclippers unnecessarily.

Thanks for saying hi to me at the meeting this afternoon with the Chat feature. I listened to most of it and picked up a few nuggets that were shared by the group and then watched the video suggested Roadmap to Recovery. I’m learning to use the zoom and plan to come to more of the meetings. I’m still in my shell, and not ready to speak but like to listen. Listening is causing small chinks in my armor.
