A lot has happened since I last posted.
I switched shifts to nights. I continued to cycle to work regularly, making, but not recording, observations of the motorists surrounding me and their behavior.
I got petitioned to give up custody of my kids simply because they allegedly voice a preference to remain with their mother. That fight is ongoing.
Most significantly, I watched a relationship take its course. I met a woman, fell in love. It was the best time I had probably in my lifetime. It grew old. I could not sustain it to her liking. Now she is leaving. She was not specific in her reasons for doing so. I do not know how sad I will be. It is too early to tell. I like to think the hostile divorce I weathered has toughened me and made me resistant to the hurt which accompanies these break ups. Has it?
The mundane tasks which hold my household together remain, and will keep me busy through this.
I work hard. I pray hard. I hope for the best. I take what life gives me. And that is all I can do.
