I am stating to feel like I live inside the movie "Groundhog Day"...

Every day is basically the same. Over, and over, and over... Lather, rinse, repeat.

Someone please lie to me and tell me it gets better.

They are all crazy. You just have to find the brand of crazy that works best for you.

At some point, you just need something different. Danm and I are in the forefront of that (at least publicly) here.

With a ton of support from my wife, I’m getting out of my miserable situation in October.

Can’t imagine going through life with a partner who heaps misery on you, and seems to enjoy doing it.

Unless of course that is your mutual kink. If that is the case…… Rock on with yo bad sef!

Have you ever asked your wife this simple question?….. What is it that you want?

Follow up- What is it that makes you happy?

There is a friend of mine at the club who is only happy when he is miserable. I’m trying to figure this problem out.

Is she only happy when you are miserable? Do you both get the same amount of joy in your daily misery?

Pure curiosity is the motivation in asking.

This post instantly made me think of my cousin, who I believe is using passive-aggression and contributing to the ruin of his and his family's lives- by dragging out a totally certain divorce for over five years now.

Those are some pretty good damn questions to ask an unhappy person...

Gentlemen.
It's 4am here and I am up after a restless night. Maybe a little progress yesterday from the West Nile virus. I was able to lace up the shoes and do a one mile walk at moderate pace. It's not the 4-5 fast miles I have been doing every day but I'm calling it progress. Still very weak and jittery but it was nice to be moving again in the cool morning air. Just waiting for a little light in the eastern sky to try it again.

Looks like there have been around 60 or so cases of WNV recently in my area and 4 have died. Nothing is available as treatment for humans but there is a vax for horses.

One reason I need to get out early is I must hide from the sun. About a month ago my skin specialist talked me into doing a skin resurfacing regime on my face due to sun damage. It requires applying a cream twice daily for two weeks and waiting for it to chemically burn the top layers. This unfortunately happened to coincide with the start of the WNV and my face was on fire at the same time I was in the ER and since being released. It is now beginning to peal off and I look as bad as I feel. Picture someone whose top 2/3 of their face was rolled in corn flakes. If I don't make it out of this I'm gonna be a purty corpse so I got that going for me.

Enjoy your Thursday guys.

Good to hear/see you.

You are going to have to get better. You can’t die ugly. Too man of us here already have that covered.

More skeeters in the dark, though. Careful.

Need to start walking I guess. Back has been messed up, stopping the bike rides.

I dunno 8, I think she got what she wanted out of life (not have a job) and I got what I expected would happen if I didn't die young.

I don't think I'm capable of truly being happy no matter what i do. I've tried to chase things that bring me joy, but in the end they always bring more problems. She aims for being content, and changing up her situation changes her level of content..ness? so she's not gonna get behind change.

If I went, I wouldn't be happy, but I'd have the money for the kitchen remodel she's been wanting for 12 years and I'd knock that out when I came home. Probably take me a year which she'd be quite upset about, but once it's done she'll be happy with it. Just like the bathroom. She was a thorn in my side during that process, but now that it's done she says she loves the new bathroom even though several things she wanted failed and we had to revert back to my original plan.

I will quit my bitching....

Hope you start feeling (and looking) better.

You could always wear enough covid masks to cover most of your face/head. Cut eye holes and wear them chin to crown. If people look at you funny, tell them you have Delta and it's for THEIR protection.

Well, Halloween is coming up soon so you don't need to worry about a costume. Go as a leprosy patient.

On a serious note, I hope you get better soon. You seem like a healthy individual with a strong constitution and, in time, you'll be back in the saddle again.

Got a long hard road outta hell DED.

Looking at a few months before you start feeling normal again.

Glad you're upright and moving though, that's definitely a positive.

Cleared most of the garden today, frost is coming.

Had a bunch of peppers to use up so I started a batch of red beans in the crock pot and threw in a dozen green habaneros.

Can you start swimming laps? It is difficult to get hurt or aggravate a problem in the water. Plus it will build your core and other muscles contributing to back pain. Works well for me. YMMV

30 minutes on the stairs at the gym... 1 hour dog walk after I got home.

Weighed us this morning... when I pick him up... we're 243 lbs. When I put him down... I'm 183. That means he's 60 lbs. I gained 3 and he gained 2.

No more ice cream for us!

Yeah... as if.
