Journal: Joe leaving, I learn about Histrionic Personality Types

Good intentions of riding from 6 were squashed by rain & drowsiness. I had a cat meowing on my window sill for half the night, so i wasn't feeling the lurve.
0834 looking "normal" me dragging my butt into another wet Monday,  except today i have dog poo on the floor, horse medications & feed...  Not good to be so negative this early.  May be I can do some exercise,  Joe will get his licence & something good will come up for Charlie? More coffee for now - but i do wonder if the Coffee had been spiked.  .  
Oh,  on a bright note, I worked out that my  Eileen O'Connor cycling pilgrimage tallied to 370km! Not too shabby fitt a
62 year old on a folding bike!

Actually the day had little good news,  Joe did not pass  his driving test & in the process sunk my hopes of fostering a child by telling me he was leaving to live with his mother as soon as he could. Actually i thought he would eventually & am happy to see him break from his rut, but i don't think spending time with his mother it's wise.
I read some stuff about Histrionic High Conflict People at the library,  about how they find a Target of Blame, never resolve anger & cannot easily be related to. The book was called Five Types of People That Can Ruin Your Life.  The descriptions fitted both Joe& his mother.  Good luck there!
Later I rode 10k in 40 min & felt cleansed & energised.

Some school days would see me run home from the beach dripping wet, stuff cereal down & jog to school. At lunch break I would grab a bike & get a surf in.  On my twenties i took up sailing. If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
