Shi!t went really sideways the other day. His vehicle was written off by a drunk driver. He was not in it at the time.

However, this is how things generally go here:

He was of course mad as hell. OF COURSE. I gave him a quick hug before he went about dealing with police and all of that. There were some tears... he is so frustrated. I asked him If I could do anything. He shook his head no so I left it at that.

He is now driving my vehicle, and will until things can be sorted out. He's doing a lot of worrying and venting and I'm just letting him talk. I am so glad that he will say what's on his mind and not bottle it up. Most of it does not require a response.

Thank you to those who can see that I posted about one bad day, because we were both in a bad mood. One simple question/suggestion is not nagging or getting up in someone's business. I just needed to vent.

Onward and upward.
