Day Thirty: Have you learned anything about yourself by participating in NoJoMo 2015?
As NoMoJo comes to an end I can say I have learned that I do not enjoy writing based on prompts or committing to writing daily. I prefer to write about mundane, daily activities and not try to “dig deep” and write about crap that is from the past but may not mean much to me.
A real update:
My best friend’s dad died this morning. I feel terrible for her. She knew it was coming- he had cancer but it still hurts bad. I cannot imagine losing my father and he’s MUCH older than her father was. I pray for many more happy years with my parents.
My sister and mother came to visit for Thanksgiving. It was the first time my mother has come to see me since I moved her in July 2012. I doubt she will return for quite a few years. It was a short visit with lots of complaints from my mother, lots of anxiety from me, etc. Chloe was happy to see her Grandma and Aunt Lois. She was good to them even though she has an ear infection and is cranky. Chloe’s trying to get a sense of self and is throwing many fits. She’s 15 months- it’s normal to start these fits around 2years old for many kids- she just blessed us with an early start.
Work is fantastic and terrible. The joys of teaching.
Trying to get pregnant- not happening. I’m sad, angry, disappointed, and discouraged.
Mike had a few bad nights of drinking. Peeing in non-urinating places in our house, calling me names, general douche-bag behaviors.. I threatened to leave and he didn’t think I was serious. He came home with a beer a few nights later and I began packing shit for Chloe and I to leave- he dumped it out and begged for us to stay. I don’t think he will test me for a few weeks but I know he will again soon. His mother thinks I am overreacting yet his father is a raging alcoholic and I have discussed the seriousness of this situation with her and with my husband.
