So as you are probably aware I’m quite simple-minded when it comes to things. On Thursday I got a new keyboard and have been dying to try it out. So much so that I plugged a USB-c into a usb-a and shorted out the USB-c 1 TB SSD and two USB ports. Fantastic. I must say. So after swapping over a few things and putting a USB hub in the middle of everything I now have a working system again. Well. It was working before I broke it and the ports are shorted but aside from that we are cooking with gas.

Yesterday was D’s graduation. It was a very odd sort of feeling watching the woman you love, seeing her do it from start to finish, and now pending ex-wife, up on the stage. I was so proud of her as she finally got the graduation she deserved. When she got her first degree in 2020 they couldn’t do it because of covid, so this time round meant more. Plus personally, I think the PGCE was harder than the Bsc due to the dithering skill set. I managed to get around the town with stick, and Ds mum on occasion. That was a big success as it means I can do it. Shattered right now though from it. I suppose when you don’t do something for a while it takes a while to get it back!

|I’m struggling with what to say. I had a conversation, for lack of a better term, last night with D who reads the blog from time to time. She took offense to a post. The one about me falling over. My views on it haven’t changed and I don’t believe in typing anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. The reality of losing my best friend & wife of 8 years seems very real. I know her reasons for it and there isn’t anything I can do about it unless I get rid of my disability. Which I can’t. So now I’m upset and getting depressed about it as it’s just another thing on top of everything. But the part that truly breaks my heart is that I won’t get to welcome the kids home every day and hear about what they’ve been up to or what they’ve had for lunch. That really makes me sad. I don’t know how I’ll deal with that one, I really don’t.
