I did survive Mother's Day relatively unscathed compared to past years thanks to Caroline. There was no family gatherings, or at least I didn't get any invites to them. Also no church gatherings, the home group meeting was shifted to the 4th Sunday assumedly because of Mother's Day. This suited me fine cos I was really in no mood for any social event of any kind.....
So I embarked on what turned out to be my longest walk thus far. A long walk was planned as I tend to do on potentially depressive days, but didn't quite expect to walk THAT far!! As I do on these short winter days I wake up in the dark before dawn, and arrive at my walk location before sunrise. This time the river foreshore at Burswood near the casino and hotel complex. From there I follow the foreshore around to South Perth then to King's Park, a walk through King's Park to the University, then back to the foreshore, following it around Crawley and Dalkeith, finally to Claremont. Then catch the train back from Claremont. Catching the train is really easy. Trains runs every 15 minutes even on Sundays. And I have my Smart Rider card, so I simply "tag on" at the start of my journey, and then "tag off" at the end of the journey which then calculates and deduct the fare, and can change trains if necessary without needing to "tag off" then "tag on". Furthermore I have it set to "autoload" so when the card balance falls below a certain amount, it is automatically topped up from my credit card. When set to autoload I get a 25% discount on the fare.
Anyway, the distance between my car at Burswood and Claremont Station according to my GPS was a little over 23kms, and there were no solar flares for a change, so it was the true distance. 23kms is my new record of how far I actually walked. So once on the train, I could get off at Burswood Station, however, the energies at that station is very chaotic, the vibes not good at all. That station has one of the highest crime rate of any station along any lines except Midland and Armadale. So I avoid that station, I get off at the station before, McIver Station, still not the best vibes but way better than Burswood. So it was another 4km walk from McIver back to my car, making it a total of 27kms for the day, by far the longest walk on record.
I was back at lunchtime, and after lunch tackled the weed patch that is my back lawn. I mowed the weeds.... I mean.... the "lawn".... cut the edges with my electric snipper, sweep the paths and well pretty well it. Then it was dinner time..... and was pretty well exhausted by then.... and so that was my Sunday... hardly a thought for Mother's Day...... Keeping myself busy and chatting to Caroline are my tonics for any potential depressive moments.
Other things..... well it seems Caroline is finally considering the option of divorce from that monster calling himself her "husband". His abuse is so horrific it makes Colin seems positively like an angel by comparison!! Her brother had a talk with her urging her to get a divorce. Her brother is also a devout Christian, attends church regularly, indeed also a revival church. I do chat with him on occasions, and he approves of my relationship with his sister. He is worried about her and happy with me. Indeed during times when Caroline cannot contact me due to the antics of her "husband", her brother does keep me informed on developments. So it is significant that he advocates for the divorce to happen. I don't think Caroline is quite convinced yet, for there are a few at the church against the idea of divorce but there is hope.......
Anyway.... nothing much else is happening at this time..... I don't think......
Whatever I want...... oh I wish !!!!!!
