A message I sent to my cousin today ... she lives across the pond.
I have been too frazzled to keep up with the details these days, so I'm sure you can piece things together from this communication, mostly.
Hiya, cousin. Thank you for the birthday wishes.
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that for some reason, I feel good today. Shouldn't be so noteworthy, eh?
Well, I think it's because I'm 11 days through Ryder's first summer possession with his father AND because after 10 nights with his dad and away from our home, he was with me overnight last night for my birthday. Didn't know how much I needed that time with him.
So I dropped him at his father's this morning before work ... only seven more sleeps until he's home again. And we leave in nine days for Florida. Mom started her drive there today and will pick R and me up from the airport next week. We'll be there six sleeps!
Also, I like the day-after the birthday better than the "approaching/impending doom," and I survived July 4 weekend - without Ryder and without Tim (he was in Kentucky for a week). Tim got back last night and surprised us at my house when mom, R and I got back from dinner and theater.
And heck, maybe even virtual wishes on social media are having an effect. But whatever the reason, I'll take this over the dumps any day. Not even going to worry about if it will last at this point.
Wrapping some things up at the office and off to yoga soon. That always helps, too.
Anyway, wanted to send a note where I'm not b*tching for a change.
Love ya and hope all is well!
