Went out yesterday.

Headed to the train "store" to get a hard plastic card for a monthly train pass. There was a huge line. A worker came down the line asking what each person wanted/needed. I told him and he smiled and said easy peasy and handed me a card. This card is my ticket to normal.

Went out to dinner with a friend. Had a nice time catching up and such after Covid.

I am a bit sad though. She met a guy in Nov 2019 and has lived with him during lock down and he wants to move south before the next winter. So she will be gone. Visiting really wont be an option as he does not like meeting new people and socializing. I will miss my Friend.


Dad complained that I was not home for dinner. He also forgot that he made his own lunch. Says he wasn't feeling well, but I think that is just to throw guilt at me for going out.

Last day of my vacation. I am visiting my elderly friends for a couple hours.

Now that I have my train pass again I will have to head out more often on the week days after work. WFH is not good for my head space. I need some social.

ah, the guilt. they do it so well. hope you get to enjoy 'getting back to normal' as MUCH as possible!

He tries with the guilt, but his attempts just annoy... I have real guilt over my Mom so he wont stop me.

I believe there is family time...and then just Jen Time.

Glad you got your train pass okay.

Your dad clearly doesn't realise just how very lucky he is to have you and it's wrong to guilt trip you.

'he does not like meeting new people and socializing'

Oh Lord!

That rings all sorts of alarm bells! :o(

Yes it does.

She says he is very kind and caring. She was in an abusive relationship before. She says he is just very tired. Once they move he is retiring... he is a plumber. He wants move south to be closer to his adult Children and his grand kids. He has picked a place that is 3 hours away from his family and an hours away from her brother and sister in law so she will have family there too.

I worry...I am over cautious most days, but I hope she is happy.

I feel sorry for her, she's going to be really lonely stuck with a guy who doesn't like socializing. =(

Your dad is such a baby!
