So thanks to covid, I’ve been doing the Mr. Mom thing for a few months. Let me tell ya guys, this staying at home with the kids isn’t a walk in the park!
To make the stay at home dad thing even more taxing… I can barely get myself up and going in the morning because I’m mentally drained and just feel like sitting in bed all damn day. It doesn’t help that I just had rotator cuff surgery about 5 weeks ago so I’m the one armed man now. I feel like I’m letting my daughter down because I should be doing things with her but can’t find the ambition to do a damn thing anymore. It feels like I’m missing out on memories we could be making but I can’t bring myself to do anything about it. This has been going on for about a month now but it’s going downhill fast. Gotta get some motivation soon or I don’t know where it’ll end.
Well, I’m going to maybe drop her off at grandma’s and then maybe do some housework to get my body up and moving. Not quite sure what else to do with myself at this point… Chances are I’ll do a little work and then fall asleep again. I can’t wait till my next doctor appointment to let him know how shitty the last med change is working out. I think maybe it’s time to go back to the Prozac again… It wasn’t perfect but at least I didn’t feel worthless on it.
I honestly think that between the layoff, the covid, the wife, the daughter, the rest of the family, the surgery, the med changes, this damn election, my dad’s increasing dementia, winter coming and everything else in my damn life, I’m faring quite well all things considered.
