This is a parallel to something else in my life, except I can&#8217;t quite figure out what the other thing is. Part of feeling or pattern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incorrect, however, I have been known to ruminate for sure, but not lately \/\/ Instead, there has been more processing and making connection through thoughts and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Correct, I did not use the superpower to go to pool Fri nor Sat\u2026 but I did go. I wanted to go\u2026 and, yes, a push from Tim did help for Sun success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Correct, the egg cooker is still in the shipping package. Superpower took awhile to fully work, but I shopped, picked the one that I liked the most. Why is it not unwrapped? Cleaning is an ongoing, long term struggle. Philip did at least two things related: he made the best boiled eggs and he kept the kitchen clean. Maybe talking about grief is what&#8217;s needed. Yeah, actually it is, because now I&#8217;m crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s making me angry: Tim said &#8220;Little less talk and a lot more action.&#8221; &#8220;Just do more.&#8221; &#8220;Generally, failure doesn&#8217;t stop people. People give up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s an enormous list of doing. It started with one second on a core ball. Not just talking, not just writing. A hell of a lot of done, do, and doing. No need to send Tim the list. Tim has lived it with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do more? What about the plethora of actions Tim isn&#8217;t privy to? Fuck you, Tim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thing so easy, but not: causing grief.
