That’s how I respond. Otherwise, it would be something like “How do you know what kind of a goddamn day it is?”

A QUIET LIFE WITH TEETH

The creatures are changing.

Billy is pure Maltese, white as a little cloud, and has always been Pete’s dog.

Period.

He never came to me, and I accepted that. Some dogs choose one human, and that is that.

But nowadays, in the mornings, while I am doing my breathwork, he comes over for a back rub.

I can do both.

Breathe the universe in.

Rub the small creature’s back.

Billy does not mind sharing. He is well-adjusted.

Phryne, however, has to get everything Billy gets.

She is a Poodle cross with Maltese, also pure white and fluffy, and a rescue. We do not really know her past in any detail.

She is skittish, easily startled, and just as likely to nip me if I get the sacred back-rub technique wrong.

When Pete coughs or sneezes, she is terrified and jumps straight up on me, no matter what I am doing.

I never mind.

I am always up for a cuddle.

Maybe this is what a quiet life teaches.

Not how to be impressive.

Just how to be available when a small, frightened creature needs warmth.

Every Morning

Every morning I wake up and the first thing that pops into my head, most of the time very briefly, is: fuck Bret died.

Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I just think about what a fantastic guy he was. Sometimes I think about the what ifs.

I know the last one isn’t fair to do to myself. But I can’t help it. The wishes that will never come true keep coming. I wish I was closer to him.

I wish.

I wish.

I wish.

Oh well. They’ll never come true.

That fucking sucks.

Here’s an example of how weird my grief is. I’m writing this and 10 days ago I’d be sobbing. Right now I’m stoic and just writing. Though my stomach is in a knot.

Will I cry later? Probably. Will something hit me like a punch in the gut? Maybe.

I wonder if the fact that we weren’t very close that my grief isn’t as strong. I mean I’m sad as fuck. I have weight on my shoulders like a pigmy elephant is giving me a horrible backrub. 😟

But I’m not constantly upset. Just somber.

Am I the happy go-lucky guy that I normally am? Not as much right now, but that’s understandable.

There are no words to describe losing someone. Especially so suddenly and tragically.

Fucking sucks isn’t even close enough. Even though it’s the closest I can get.

Oh well… I know grief takes time. And it will definitely take time. I know that.

Miss you, Bretsky! I will always love you! 💔

Spokojne poranki w domu tymczasowym. Nie no, żartuje 😅 trzeba było podać leki, jechać do Piekar z golebiem na wizytę i potem na szybko z Maksymilianem do lecznicy, bo ma ucho spuchnięte jak balon. W międzyczasie trzeba dokupić karmę gastro, wykupić receptę na kroplówki i umówić wizytę u dermatologa. Miłego dnia ☺️

Malaise and Pushups

Mostly, I love mornings. Unless I have to go to work. This happens to be the majority of mornings. Despite me writing all the time like some frenzied badger with spectacles and a cardigan, I don’t make a living at it, or at least enough to make it my fulltime gig. In the future I keep telling myself. Anyways, waking myself up in the morning is hard. Don’t get me wrong, I like my 9 – 5 job. It pays the bills, keeps me alive, provides a little for my family, etc. At my wedding my coworkers were more enjoyable than the majority of my family. That doesn’t stop the existential dread I feel in the morning. One life. What am I doing? How I hate being another nameless cog in the hyper capitalist machine.

I get up early, close to 5 am before getting ready for work. Apparently, and I’ve become more health conscious as I’ve gotten older, but men’s cortisol is highest in the morning. So yeah, all the anxiety, stress, ideas, memories, thoughts, it all hits me like a ton of bricks in the morning.

I can’t speak for all men in this phenomenon of course. Not trying to whatsoever. However, there is plenty of scientific evidence that men’s cortisol levels are highest in the morning. I know for myself currently it is true. I don’t meditate or really attempt that sort of stuff. I guess this could be some variation of it. After I use the bathroom I sort of just lay on the couch and close my eyes. No music. No audiobook. I just give myself about 20 minutes to let my mind be sort of crazy. Paranoia, worry, anxiety, rumination, and intrusive thoughts get their time. I’m always stocked up in those categories. I sort of focus on all the anger and anxiety. I sometimes go past the 20, and sometimes I go less.

After I journey down this dark hole of reflection and wistfulness, I usually workout. I go for about 30 minutes. I do three exercises of free weights, with five sets of each. It is usually a mix of upper body, lower body, and core work. After this I brush my teeth and make myself presentable for the workday. I kiss my wife goodbye, go wake up my kids if I have them that day, and then head to work or to drop them off. Sometimes I have to take my dog back to my exes as well. He’s part of our divorce agreement. Getting twin 10 year old boys, and a dog ready and into my car at 7:00 am is not an easy process. It tends to be stressful.

There have been plenty of times where I skip working out because I’ve ventured too far into the abyss. Where the malaise and existential wormhole has shackled me and I find myself to be unmovable until it is time to wake up my sons. So my weird meditation has drawbacks. Overall, I’ve found if I give myself just some time to worry about things, to really let my anxieties breath in the day, it is much easier to operate. I’m giving the devil its due for about twenty minutes, and that is it. This technique sort of shackles these spots in place for the day. Not saying they don’t reappear. I’ve found at night when I’m tired my ability to control them is weakened.

Weekends are obviously a little bit different. I still tend to wake up before my wife and kids are up, since my schedule is designed for early morning activity. I usually spend my mornings working out if my schedule is thrown off, or I skipped day during the week. I work on blog posts, submissions, edits, and other smaller bits of writing. If I complete all those I’ll play a video game like Tears of the Kingdom, or something else.

As one does.

My dog just rolled his eyes at me and thumped his head back on the bed with a huff when I asked if he wanted out to pee.

It's official. I have teenagers in the house again.
