Tripping Out

CLove's picture

And NOT because we are in California! lol. Thinking of my East Coast steptalkers.

We are planning and going on a fun little trip happening this weekend starting Friday. Its for 3 days and its south 800 miles. Husband scheduled a fishing trip and we will have a few hours together. Its San Diego, where I went to college and lived for 15 years.

She is permitted

The light at the end of the tunnel of dependent skids is approaching!

Sd17 Power Sulk has finally gotten her permit to drive! A year and two months after signing up for the course and then sitting on the completed 10 chapters with 1 to go. I am quietly ecstatic. Good. Now she can get a job and get a life.

And Just Like That...aka breakin up and then makin up

I signed up for Hulu because I wanted to re-watch the Sex In the City series, as well as True Blood and a few others. Ive been experiencing a lot of feelings of nostalgia lately, probably because:

1. I had a birthday the beginning of the month. I tend to celebrate quietly and think loudly. Where am I at, Where am I going, Where have I been. Where do I want to go from here. Taking stock. 

School registration 2023

power sulk needs my help registering for her last year of high school.

I gave her all that last year. When she registered last year.

After her treatment of me, Im no longer helping at all. Im so mad.

After all the disrespect, I get a text from husband that power sulk needs log in credentials and I need to give them to him so he can give them to her.

eff them. I told him I would help if I got respect and apologies, however I dont need fake apologies.

He said he is ready to get the paperwork ready to "get rid of things", meaning the marriage.

5 years married anniversary continued, aka fly in my ointment (long)

It was a mixed bag of nuts. As always. Never really great or good without SOMETHING. Lets see...

June 21 Anniverary - So I get half day off and am relaxing. I check the temps and its in the 100's where we are planning on spending our anny watching a concert by a 70-year old rocker known the world over as that "other singer". Husband has not gotten the day off due to unforseen circumstances. Im chilling and in no hurry.

No flies are appearing in the ointment so far...but wait!

5 years...

Today is husband and I 5th year wedding anniversary.

Yesterday I was enjoying a beverage with a GF and told her "back when I met husband, I was 135 and HAPPY". She got that distinction.

What are we doing for our 5th? Working and then heading south to a place that will fry our brains in 102 deg ft weather. To listen to music. Which I organised and set up.

Strange symmetry?

So, Ive been trying out a new therapy and one of the things I need to do is have power words for when I need to feel strong. When I need to get out of my own head and protect myself. When I need to activate and reinforce my boundaries. Im choosing Respberry for todays power word. Perfect new password for my new guest account.

So, my last Blog, it was made apparent that husband placated me and did not do anything remotely resembling an apoloy or make any indication of making changes.

Throw it down Tuesday

Husband jovially told me this evening on my drive home phone call "oh Im doing xyz drop off here and then I pick up power sulk".

Yep. Same ol same ol. No heads up or discussion just a casual declaration as per usual.

So, I took that bull by its horns (delicately) and threw it down (via text).

After the fireworks smoke cleared...

July 6th being my 55th birthday, I wanted peace and serenity at the minimum. Made a few loose plans. Came home the 5th, house is still messy from the gathering on the 4th but no biggie. Husband had been home all day- called in sick - and I was a little edgy (like why not share this information with your WIFE). 

I asked what hed been up to all day...attitude "Oh dont know, I just did the dishes and threw out trash and took powersulk to her mothers for you"...attitude.

I asked about small things...attitude...
