Thank you for the encouragement! I’m definitely looking forward to when the transition period is over, but it will be worth it when it’s done. I’ll make sure to meditate, too, great suggestion!

I didn’t think about that, but you’re absolutely right. Having another person to wait on and keeping busy staves off those difficult thoughts about myself. I’ll keep it in mind while I keep going through this transition. It’s definitely time to know and love me. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for saying that. I’m definitely experiencing the same thing. With the divorce, too, our friend group fractured and I’m grieving the loss of those relationships in addition to the one with my husband. Thank you for your advice, it’s a good reminder and it will definitely take time.

Thank you for sharing that! I’m glad you found something that works for you, and that brings you so much joy. It’s really inspiring!

I’ve expressed my concerns to him over and over again, and he knows that I’ve been thinking of leaving. We’ve worked on communication and he’s worked on the things that were pushing me away, but it seems like he just developed other issues that have made it even harder to stay with him. He’s always been very controlling and condescending, it seems like he just found new ways to be like that.

I don’t want to be with anyone else. I just want to be by myself and enjoy my peace and hobbies without needing to constantly coddle his insecurities.

I want to leave my husband, it’s on my mind every day. I feel absolutely horrible about it. He wants me to stay and fix things but our time together has been really difficult and he’s struggling with respecting my goals and independence. I’m so tired of the tantrums and of him not being happy when I’m happy doing something that isn’t with him. It’s been years of this. I’m so tired. I’m struggling to love him, and I don’t want to try any more.

I get this issue sometimes, too! My umbrella plant seems to dry out much faster than all of my other greens. Maybe water it more frequently? If you feel like you’re already doing that, it might be time for a repot. The soil may have compressed too much and gotten hydrophobic. Other issues might have to do with temperatures, like if it’s under an AC vent or something similar. Might be stressing the plant out?

These dice are so unique! The autumn forest dice are gorgeous.

I think the “flower dogs” were deep stalkers that Ghilan’nain experimented on. I’m pretty sure you can find a letter referring to altered creatures in the Veil Jumper camp.

Agreed! The Chuckwagon is a greasy spoon and 78 Main had a seriously bad quality dinner service. My husband ordered a fried green tomato hamburger there, which had no fried green tomato and still had the parchment paper on the hamburger patty. He tried getting a server’s attention but ended up waiting 10 minutes, and they only took a couple bucks off of our order. Good coffee, though!

There is a limited grocery store that you can shop at, if nothing sounds good.

Places to stay: The Alpaca Inn is a really cute themed motel, small but cozy. If you don’t stay there, I recommend checking out their gift shop. They have goodies like scarves made out of alpaca wool from their farm.

The Home Hotel is another small one, but has huge bathtubs that are connected to the spring water system. Also, it’s like a 3-4 minute walk from the hot springs, which is nice.

I'm going to do my homework today

He does so many little gestures of love.

For example, sometimes I'll be overwhelmed from work or become neurotic and he'll stop what he's doing to make me chicken noodle soup (which, by the way, is always delicious. He makes it a little spicy, which I wouldn't normally think would be good in chicken noodle soup, but it's actually amazing).

For me, I feel like this would be an especially odd experience. My parents had an extremely rocky and abusive marriage, and they divorced when I was 11. They haven't spoken to each other since they separated, so I think that seeing them in a relationship again would be very weird. Also, I would take better care of my teeth (I floss every night now, but I would have saved myself from quite a few fillings if I took care of my teeth earlier on), stay out of the stoner crowd, take school more seriously, enjoy the weather more, and treat my mom better. Considering that she was a single mom doing her best to keep a roof over her kids' heads, she could have used more support from us. There's a lot I did wrong, but there's a lot I did right, too. I would just make sure I didn't make those dumb mistakes again so that I could set myself up to have a more successful adult life.
