So this weekend I treated my folks to their Christmas present – last minute tickets to see Avenue Q… no I wussed out on going with them, I am going through enough! They loved it, and have had the sound track on repeat ever since which is scarring enough – anyone else heard their dad singing along to “the internet is for porn?” Nope….just me!
Anyway I am a massive musical fan and seems to find that songs can sum up a mood better than anything else. It would appear I have found my song of the moment:
It would also appear it is a fine, fine line between denial and facing up to reality. Turns out that the fine line is an upturned empty paint tray on the draining board of your old house.
Turns out he couldn’t find the energy to decorate while we were together but now I am not there….

I’m glad your folks had a good time!
Try not to be hurt by what he is or is not doing. You shouldn’t read too much into it. Whatever his feelings, the place probably seems strange without you around and he’s just keeping himself busy.
I am trying really hard not to, and just looking it as time to sort myself out!
LOVED Ave Q! Great gift for your parents.
Fab isn’t it!
Ave
Ack! I was going to say that Ave Q is fabulous, but I definitely can’t see my parents singing along to it.
Bummer about the painting. I know how you feel. Wish I could help!
yes the singing along I could sort of do without!!
What a great Christmas present!
I thought so!!
