You’re absolutely right about knowing the cause making it more difficult.

Won’t be tmi, but I woke up today and I’m definitely not pregnant!!! Thank god 😄
Lesson learned. Never again.
That’s all from me as I’m going to take some paracetamol, lie down with a hot waterbottle and binge watch true crime documentaries.

Our rain just switch to big fat snowflakes, too! Happy April 🤪 I don’t think we will accumulate much because it’s quite warm and the flakes are really pretty coming down so I can’t complain too much. ❄

I’ll gladly share some of ours, we’re up to about 50 cm now. That’s around 19 inches.
And it keeps coming. Of it doesn’t hold up we’ll have a snow day tomorrow, cause we won’t be able to get out the door. 😊

Stay safe! I grew up in snow country, but am far south now. I remember those Easter snows, and trying to find the eggs 🙂

She finally told me today… she doesn’t want a relationship. And I can feel emotional sobriety coming over mez

I’m born and raised here (well in the neighbor village) so I’m used to it. We stock up on everything we might need for longer power outage, lack of water, lack of groceries in the store, and just about everything else.
I’m not a huge snow fan,but I do remember even Walpurgisnacht or May 1st protests while snowing.
My 12 y/o loves snow, he is always warm so I guess it’s a relief from him when the weather is cold. To see his joy when it’s snowing is worth freezing for a few days ☺

I hope it all turns out to the best for both of you.
Even if it’s hard to keep on like that, it can be hard to walk away as well.

Yes! I’m glad you can enjoy his smiles while you wait for spring! I’m strange, I want to move to snow country again because I miss it! It happens here maybe once a year. But not too much snow. Just 4 distinct seasons.

I’m happy to have the closure. It’s been a long arsed chase and all I wanted was decision. So I’m happy I finally got it. I’m not very happy that I had to be a bit of an arsehole to get it… but it got to the point where I felt like I’d been taken advantage of so bad, I had to hold her accountable. The response I got was “after everything you’ve been saying I don’t really want to know anymore.” So there we are

Bagged on Day 88
An hour and half in gym on weights, then an hour and half 6k hike… up at 6am, for what reason?? Who knows, cause I’m old I suppose.
Be well all,

Hey all, evening check in, about to get 9 days. Was very grumpy so took myself off for a drive which I then realised wasn’t my best idea as the weather was terrible. Called in at the shops as my appetite is weird and didn’t want anything in the house. Bypassed the wine aisle completely. Now home and don’t have an appetite at all. Pjs and a candle on. So overstimulated so not going to be able to watch the Spurs game tonight.
I hope everyone is OK
