Old meditation saying "don't just do something, sit there" I've said it before, I think that sitting still is something you fear. You see it as failure and it creates anxiety. But by allowing that anxiety to run your life you limit your life in many ways. Freedom is being able to choose when you push forward and when you just sit. You don't always have to be pushing forward...really. Examine why you think that. Btw, life isn't always more fun when you share it with someone...it can be, but it can also be a royal pain in the arse sometimes too lol!!!! Just some thoughts for you, take 'em or leave 'em smile

Oh I get it. You know when XW and I first split up I was desperate to find someone and get married again. Now, I can't imagine actually finding someone that could put up with D9's issues to the point we could get married.

I just don't know how it would work. I'm not saying I won't. Just coming from a divorced family and how much of a mess each of my mom's subsequent marriages/relationships were, I just can't see myself remarrying until the girls are safely off to college.

I'm just looking for a partner in crime.

So GM do you have one to spare?

Crazy day. Poor D9. She had her psych valuation this morning. They are going to up her meds to help with her lack of impulse control.

Then she had tae kwon doe class. XW went to watch and was impressed by how well D9 was listening.

I picked D9 up at 4:30 and an 18-year-old travelling at a high rate of speed blew a stop sign and t-boned us.

D9 is okay but shaken up. She was a riot at hospital. She had to give a urine sample and told the nurse helping her "I can't believe it's your job to catch my pee."

Me. I'm okay. He slammed into my door. My head, ribs and knee hurts and I have some stitches in my hand.

Car is totaled and I almost had it paid off. Ugh.

XW met us at hospital and has been a tremendous help. I am staying at her/my old house.

One sad part. XW was calculating medical costs out loud and stopped herself. "I guess it's too late anyway."

She is taking time off in the morning to take me to get stuff out of my car, which is totalled. D9 has school stuff in it.

That's enough. I am typing with one hand.

Oh wow! Thank god you're ok!

I hope the 18 year old had good insurance?

That [censored], but boy, it sure puts things into perspective doesn't it?

Glad you're both ok.

Oh wow! So glad to hear that you both are okay if not a bit sore. That must have been scary. I hope your insurance is good. Take care of yourself and your daughter, that is the important stuff right now.
