So it been a long time. It appears that I have come back to a "graveyard" people I had hoped I may find are nowhere to be seen. A few have passed, and others moved on.
So what's up in my fucked up life?
Since the last time I was on VR I have moved to a different city in the same state, more rural area to be closer to my daughter when she was starting school. It was also the beginning of the pandemic. I home schooled my daughter for kindergarten during pandemic closures, and she returned back to school for 1st grade.
She is now almost done with 5th grade, growing up too fast and I feel my worthlessness coming closer each day. She is mainly my whole life, Everything I do is decided around her. I have been alone now for nearing 10 years, no relationships since me and her mom split up. I just focus on being daddy.
Summer 2024 me and my daughter got to go out to Arizona to visit my mother and brother. Thanks to my daughters mom who got the tickets and got us to the airport 2hrs away. It was fun and nice to do something with my daughter that hopefully will be remembered later. We went to Tombstone, Tucson, Mt. Lemon, Sedona Jerome, went to Maynard's (Tool) shops among others. While there my brother drove us to California for a couple days too for the first time. We seen Palm Springs, Hollywood, Pasadena, Beverly Hills and Anaheim. It was a fun time the first time I'd traveled anywhere in about 8 yrs.
Last year April 15, 2025 (anniversary of the Titanic sinking) I had a heart attack. That was odd, I didn't find out until 2 days later when bloodwork showed a very high amount of some enzyme in the blood that indicates heart attack. I was left on IV and sat for about 6 hrs til they could find a different hospital to ship me too for a heart cath procedure. Results? One minor blockage they said could be treated by meds. It's still a scary thought I almost missed my daughter grow up for a second time now.
Then in Dec on the way to get my daughter for my half of Christmas break, my car died about 5 miles from home, just cut off at 55mph and wouldn't crank again. all the power and lights and everything were still working just the car wouldn't crank or click or anything. So now I have had no car for 4 months which is just lovely in a rural area when shopping is 4 miles away in the next town, and my daughter goes between me and her mom who moved 45 miles away from this town since I've been here.
If it wasn't for my daughter I'd have given up on this life long ago. I feel pretty useless and feel like a burden on the few others around in my life. The world is going to crap around me too which makes things even worse.
Well if you sat and read through this to the end. I'm sorry that several minutes you won't get back...
