Getting together with you has been on my list for ages. I'm just such a hermit. It's really been eye opening to see my Dad whip up a social calendar -- of course he doesn't commit to anyone, he's showing up at various shindigs like the shag dancing group that is at one of his favorite bars.
There's a coffee place at the Farmer's market? I've been to the seafood there and the main restaurant, which i guess you could get coffee at. (I think i've only been on weekends when the wait was crazy) Would a place like Bonafide Bakeshop & Cafe, 1232 W Williams St, Apex, NC 27502 be reachable for you? It's about 15 min closer to me, which would make it so much easier to get to. I'll dm my email & phone.
We have a pricy Kinetico filter system too. We wouldn't have managed the water without it. The previous owner was too cheap to use the 0.5 micron filters we need to get the clay out; Christine gets very distressed by the water having any color. I just want it to taste ok and i can't taste the fine clay. Anyhow, we did the bleach treatment yesterday. Lunch with the chlorine smell was no joy,and the clay suffused water (without the last 0.5 micron filtering) is now all in the pipes to slowly be flushed.
I worked through my Mom stuff for years -- in my journal, to friends, to therapists. The issue now is realizing how Mom poisoned the family dynamics after Christine transitioned. She essentially barred Christine from my sister's wedding, and my sister just found out that my dad didn't know about it. But that and other things Mom demanded or did split Christine off from my family, in general. And what i am left with is Christine's pain at that rejection -- and probably Christine has anger with me over not demanding she be treated right, but Christine can't let that anger out. In the end it's just grief.
