Week 18 - My cousin came to visit

This week my cousin came to visit and she was a delight. I decided to make a change next month and hopefully it won't have dire consenquences and wife is recovering form her tummy issue.

She is really happy and that ring is really beautiful

It is just frustrating for me. I am healing. The thing is we are still friends but that what we are. Transactional friends. If they don't need me. They won't talk to me. I am okay with that.

I do believe that, there will open be another door open if one is close.
