Happy Pi Day, beware the Ides of March, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This post is for kaelie <3

My goodness, it's been months. That's a function of both winter brain fog and a touch of depression, I think.

But let's see, ( here's a quick rundown on my life )

There are no direct flights from Columbus to Burlington, which is the closest airport. :(

The sun today is giving me hope of spring, anyway.

From the updates you've shared, I've honestly been waiting for the planning-on-a-divorce thing. I hope Erin can find a counselor there who can help. I also hope that Nic continues to be less of an ass.

I'm sorry you've been sick so much :( Hopefully as we move further into spring and the sun shines more that will help. I know first-hand how awful it feels when you get sick over and over again with no breaks.

It really definitely sucks that you're not going to be able to see Seb as much :-/

*hugs you*

It seems to weird to wish your kid would get a divorce, but sometimes....

I've gone years without even a cold, so this is not something I'm used to. I've even been complaining, which I try not to do, because it's hard to hold the moral high ground in the game of 'omg, stop whining' that Larry and I play with every cold if I complain, too.

I keep thinking I'll start to feel less sad, but it hasn't happened yet.

Watching your child in a miserable marriage has to be incredibly hard to deal with. And the prospect of having your adorable grandbaby far away very much sucks. :-( Distances in the US are pretty hard for us Brits to get our heads round.

Enjoy the sunshine and the cake.

It's very hard. It's not all Nic, because nothing is ever 100% one person't fault, but he's such a jerk. (This was the icon I used back when I discussed her wedding, so it's been kind of dicey from the start.)

And the idea of Sebastian being so far away is killing me. It's between $400 and $500 to fly, or 12 hours to drive. I like to drive, but not that far, not very often. It's not what I was counting on, didn't expect it, and I'm not very happy about it. There's not a thing in the world I can do about it except to suck it up, but I can still complain about it when Erin's not around. :)

{{{hugs}}} 'cause you sure do need them. I'm hoping for brighter days for you very soon!

Thank you. I feel sure if my perpetual cold ever goes away, things will look much brighter. Surely that will help.

I'm so sorry, Donna. That's a whole bunch of not-good. I've been previously entertained by your comments about the SIL, but I didn't realize that his behavior was *this* bad and scary.

I recall you saying that Erin owned her own home. Are you concerned about her not only moving so far away, but giving up the job and home that gives her independence? How does Ashley weigh in on this whole situation? Do you think a gaslighting narcissist can be honestly willing to change?

Wishing for sunnier skies for you soon, m'dear.

I hate to be a bummer, Kaelie, but he really is an ass. It's not on a huge scale, but it's subtle and takes a toll. For example, Erin has been having GI issues. She had a colonoscopy a while ago and her doc said she has a bit of an irritable bowel. She prescribed antihistamines to settle it down, mentioned that would help Erin sleep, and told her to find a therapist ( ... )
