It’s been a while since I logged in or updated or even thought about blogging and I wanted to ask you apologise. If you read Samantha’s journal, then you’ll know what’s been going on the for the last few months. And for those who don’t, her dad died unexpectedly at the beginning of the year and she had what she’s calling ‘a mental health crisis’
With a lot of support from myself and Lucy, our doctor, the local mental health team and bereavement counselling she’s on the road to recovery. And you have no idea how much of a relief that is. I’m not too proud to say I was scared I was going to lose her đą Lucy has been amazing throughout; I was concerned the stress was going to trigger an episode of her own but it’s like her nurturing instincts kicked in and took over.
In the last maybe 10 days, things are returning to what resembles normal around here. Samantha is still signed off work and it’s been agreed that she will be back in September for the new school year. We’re finding our groove again and I feel like I have her back; my wife, my lover, my dominant, my best friend
The three of us are taking a long weekend break to Amsterdam this weekend. I think we all deserve to get away, enjoy each others company and press reset. I’m looking forward to visiting a few museums, exploring the red light district, indulging in some coffee shop treats and… Well to be honest some romantic walks along the canals.
I’m currently finally setting up the tablet I got for Christmas so any app recommendations you may have would be great.
So far I’ve got Facebook, twitter, duolingo, BBC sport, Man City app, good reads, Spotify
For now, I still have over 1000 unread emails to catch up on and then I’ll be back to Dreamwidth. Samantha has ‘highly suggested’ Lucy and I come back to social media…
