I’m not really one to bitch about shit but it has been a rough couple of weeks and I want to take this opportunity to get some shit off my chest. The last few weeks have gone fast. Wife has had a lot of big travel. The kids have had a lot of interruptions to their daily routine and I’ve had a crap ton of clinicals, work and exams with two exam cycles inside of 3 weeks. I’ve had to do a lot of figuring out who is getting the kids onto the bus in the AM and off in the PM. Making sure the dog is getting exercised and let out midday to pee. Keeping the house in order and making time to address a few house related maintenance items. Just when I think the light at the end of the tunnel is upon Us, my wife comes home from another business trip and she comes down with Covid and everything we had figure out for this weekend and the self care I had set up for her (massage and a day date with me) has to get rearranged and I’m back to solo parenting again as she is in quarantine for the next few days. The boys are distraught with mom now being sick (she’ll be okay but just needs a few days to get through the crud) and I’m back to figuring out a bunch of stuff Solo that otherwise would be split between her and I. Plus the mental exhaustion of exams. Lack of working out, drinking more then I should, it adds up. I now need some self care.
I’d like to thank CP and the VHerfs for keeping me saine these last few weeks. It has been that breather that we all turn to cigars for. The commeratery and the fellowship that that brings us here in the first place. Thanks for letting me rant.
