The Real Struggle

Purple crying and newborn tears, inability to self-soothe, 8-week sleep regression, and everything along with it.  The helplessness.  The feelings of inadequacy.  Hoping it will improve, sure it must, but how?  We shall see.

In the interim, a return to the Thames is booked, with work to be done on the passport and visas, but plans for a return to Bankside so exciting.  What it will feel like to stroll that walkway with those humans, a bit of a bookend?  A last farewell for some time?  Perhaps, with other places to see and spend the money on.

The hosting of the church ladies a success, the stress over teamwork and again being called out for lack of patience.  Hearing tomorrow, let’s just get through this week and then a more relaxing July lies in store.  And let the hearing go just a day so there is time for the vaccination appointment tomorrow.  Be well, young man.  It’s so hard.
