Linda's 5th Grade Ceramics Project & a French WWI "Valeur et Discipline" Medal
I've managed to return to my routines relatively well, except for this. Writing. I've had my hands full. The return to work, home, and the return to the conflicting dynamics with Tommy all have me wanting to retreat to an island again. I'm faced with such a massive workload and the demands of trying to clear out Panorama, helping manage things like turning off AAA insurance that took 45min out of my day to address…. it's all a lot to balance. I'm lost in the breadth of items that have value and/or history while I have little time or access to finding interested parties. I have to make tough choices. I am also back to clashing with Tommy, and it quickly escalates from just being a discussion about attending classes to insults, attacks and deflections. Jen says I have to stop engaging and caring because he's made it clear he doesn't want to hire and doesn't care about or even like me. I called out what I consider his hypocrisy around using his mom as an excuse and that just made things worse. It's just nothing I can influence, so as Jen said, I have to stop thinking I can and being disappointed when I can't.
