I hope the baby doesn't remember me like this. I find myself in a state of despair at least once a day. Not crying, just numb and constantly frowning. I'm not good at mothering and it weighs on me, I know I'm going to mess her up in the long run. Either me or the condition of the country. We want to leave but I need to have a support system when it comes to the baby, not just hayes who is amazing, but I would really unravel if we were raising a kid alone abroad, and my parents would feel the same when it comes to my brother post-stroke. Hayes hates the company that took over his job and he is ready for any type of change. In other thoughts running through my brain, I'm up for reelection this year in registering people to vote and I can't bring myself to see the point anymore. The only thing keeping me doing it is so an election-denier conspiracy theorist doesn't take over my position. And then there's my two dogs. Cody, the tripod keeps attacking Nory. I dont know why, they've been a bonded pair since 2019. She's old and going blind but I don't know where the anger is coming from, ugh.
I want to post more on here. I want to take photos and talk about the every day little details but my body refuses. I've been on this site for 17 years on the 19th of this month, I can't stop now.
My doctors appointment isn't until the end of March but I'm counting down the days until medication gets brought into my life. In the mean time I don't know what I'd be like if I didn't get outside for a walk in the woods or an ice skate on the pond every day...
