[Friday survival check in]

[tomakeanoffer]

So, I am gonna try and bring these back, if that's all right with everyone. I know I've been slacking due to everything being exhausting lately but I am doing okay today, so yeah.

So, if you are not familiar, this post is
• for being excited about the things you've done this week
• for asking for help if you need it
• for venting about anything that mind need to be flailed over (but do let us know if you just need to vent, or if you'd like advice).
• for showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• for being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• for just being thrilled that you survived.

Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone.  If you need cheer leading or anything, feel free to say so, or if you just want to vent and don't want any advice or anything, let us know.

I do ask that if you have any triggering topics, that you mention them in the subject line, or first line of your comment. This is just so people can make informed decisions on what to read and keep everyone okay. <3 Thank you so much.

I pulled off a 90-minute impromptu concert set (to an audience of about a half-dozen, but still...) at the SNF where my wife is doing rehab. Managed to hold it together despite being grossly out of practice on some of the songs, and despite having an inured left thumb that makes F and D chords (and A, when playing in drop-D) less than satisfactory.

The flip side of that is that my wife is still in rehab, and will be there until Wednesday or so. But she's taking full advantage of the available PT, and is actually doing better than she has in years. She walked 500' (with a walker) yesterday. A couple of weeks ago she was having trouble with 50, and that was before spending a week in a hospital bed.

(In other news, I still don't have a job, and my confidence in my ability to get one is dropping steadily.

I am so, so happy for your wife. <3 I really wish her all the best and hope that things keep improving. I also ill keep you in my thoughts with regards to jobs. It's hard as hell to feel like you're not getting anywhere but I offer good thoughts and kindness when I can.
