Day 128.
Big wind & rain storm today. Winds up to 110km/hr in some areas. We are rural and have a generator so that’s all ready to go just in case. Hopefully it sticks to rain & not switch to snow. Technically work holiday for me but doing some work to catch up & bank time for play during week with my little human. I found this weekend challenging for many reasons but made it through. Thankful for so many of you.

@Beardy_McTallman congrats on 30 man, @GVLNative you’re right it was fun. And at @Lisa07 thank you:). Good morning everyone day 70, I didn’t check in the last couple of days. Yesterday I woke up and just felt it, the grouchy idk miserableness and I couldnt shake it. I didn’t let my girls have any fun with there Easter stuff, everything was just bugging me, the house was a mess, my step father getting drunk the night before. Literally everything, and I was just a groch ass toward my girls, idk I have the tools to supposedly get me out of it. But it never works, and when I came home my mom was like that’s not normal, it’s Easter Sunday, you’re spoce to let them have fun. Like yeah I know mom, she doesn’t understand I’m not fucking perfect and I get in these funks sometimes and can’t really 100% control it. I expressed how it’s annoying how I’m trying to still work, do my bike rides, plus take care of my girls, and maintain this house for them. And I just got well we pay the bills. I can’t express shit, without being told I hate them and I’m attacking them, it’s not that I mind maintaining the house. It’s that nobody makes a effort to help back, and my step dad has gotten drunk like 3 days this week and is sloppy and crashes all over the house and I tried to express that it bugs me, and I got it’s only once a week and again they pay the bills. But shit when I did it, it was a issue. I already know the answer to this solution and it’s move. But I can’t I’m fucking trapped untill this pandemic shit is over. Anyway just throwing it all out there, mostly I just feel bad for the grouchy towards my girls, I just wanna be normal dude.

I’m so with you there! Not only do I in my head practice what I might say so it is something meaningful and helpful to others (people pleasing, approval seeking) but I fear saying something wrong (perfectionism). I also struggle with whether sharing is about my healing or about getting others to nod their head that I said something useful (ego). Self judging is so harmful to our recovery!

Checking in quick at 5.65 days. Didn’t get a chance to catch up as I don’t want to be late for my Zoom with the boys this morning.
Setting some boundaries with my daughter this morning which is breaking my heart. She moved out but keeps bringing her dog here. She asked again today and I had to say no. The air isn’t working well in her apartment. Problem is my floors were just steam cleaned, and it’s storming out. Every time I take her out she’ll drag mud in here, plus she sheds unbelievably badly. I still have to clean more and do the baseboards as they are covered with her hair. I’m also allergic to her and I just need a break. I know she’s mad at me, but I can keep putting myself last so people like me. That’s how you lose respect.

Hang in there buddy.
Use the bike and time with your girls to transport you away for a few moments.
It will keep you sane.

Day 84.36
In the words of a true Southerner, “I thought the house was fixin’ to blow down”. Translation: Heavy storms rolled through last night and the tornado warning came at approximately 4 AM. I sat in the inner hallway of the house until the time passed. I was caught in a restaurant as a kid when a tornado destroyed the building next door. I take these things very seriously as a result. 
Today is sunny and warm before the cold rolls back in.
Hopefully everyone is staying sober and sane!!
