We're All Fighting a Hard Battle

I didn't do much of anything today, and it felt good. I was going to at least go to the gym, but I'm sore and I think a little recovery isn't a bad thing. I don't want to overdo it. Tomorrow I'll go, though. I'm enjoying getting back into the swing of things.

The very thing Snookums has been avoiding happened today. He met Colin. It was totally by accident, but it's done. I didn't know it, but Annie had Colin come over since she knew I was going to be home, and Snookums at school. Well, she didn't tell me Colin was coming over or I would have told her that Snookums was planning on coming home between classes today. So, Snookums walks in and Colin is sitting on the couch. Of course Snookums automatically assumed we'd planned this ambush, but that wasn't the case. I didn't even know Colin was here. My husband handled it just as I suspected he would... he just ignored him. But there was no fighting. It's not what Annie or I want, but it's a start. And he relented and is allowing Colin to come over even when he's home. Huge progress!

Around 6pm I got a text from Ruth asking me to come over, because she needed to talk, so that's where I spent my evening. I'm not a social creature, but I did enjoy chatting with her. I think it did me just as much good as it did her. Sometimes I envy her life, because she doesn't work, and they don't really have to worry about money... but really we're all fighting a hard battle. Regardless of our outward circumstances. She's struggling with Bipolar and anxiety issues, which make it tough for her to function somedays. I totally get it. There are days when work is the only thing that gets me out of bed. Not because I want to. Only because I have to. It's kind of comforting knowing I'm not alone in that. She's also very interested in going vegan. She's concerned about messing up, or doing it wrong, so we talked about transitioning and what that would look like. I hope she goes through with it. It's helped my mental issues a great deal, and I told her that.

I'm not sure why I waited so late to write, but I'm too tired to extrapolate. Goodnight world.
