Saturday always goes by in a blur, children’s activities, shopping, chores inside and outside the house. Extra work last weekend as it was Halloween and pumpkins had to be carved. Nothing like having your arm deep in pumpkin guts to get in the spirit of things….maybe its good for the skin. I carved three in record time. Not a bad showing this season, if I say so myself.
I admit I was disappointed about not getting out for Halloween as April. I had a last minute invite to a costume party but circumstances meant I could not attend.
The plan Saturday evening was to see my friend Marissa for coffee. The hours ticked by but I hadn’t had a chance to get ready or even pick out an outfit. No one could decide on what they wanted for dinner and everyone seemed out of sorts. Perhaps it was the changing weather but tempers flared and my wife and I argued.
I fell apart; I retreated to the bedroom and sobbed, a full breakdown. Overwhelmed with frustration and despair.
It is hard to recapture the intensity of the emotions; in fact it seems rather silly now. In reality I have much to be thankful for. My wife came in and was very supportive recognizing the stress I am under and the frustration of not living as who I am. She encouraged me to get ready and go out, which after dinner I did.
Apologies for being AWOL, on location filming yesterday and filming on set again today, two interviews.
To all those reading south of the border, no not Mexico, south of our border, yes in the USA get out and vote…let the Force guide you.
Oh yeah one more thing I have a cold, not the full blown Captain Trips but I do feel like one of the walking dead right now.
Once again the Rolling Stones…
