The vibe this week around the "old homestead" can only be described as "what the fu@k." I'm sure there are other better and well-suited grammar-type elements to fully characterize the ambiance here on the shores of the Bay of Fundy.
Whatever that word or phrase might be to enlighten us all about the particular "vibe" here, the one word that does now come to mind is "off."
The vibe around the "old yellow-door homestead" is definitely off.
Ever since the Christmas and holiday season, the vibe has been off. In fact, I could even go back to Saturday, November 18 as the day when the vibe started to go off-kilter and falter.
It was a lunch we had out with our daughter to celebrate her birthday that was upcoming in a couple of days. During the lunch(which was wonderful) the discussion of Christmas came up and since that time and that very discussion the "vibe" took a slight dip at first, eventually evolving into a dumpster fire of "being "off."
We never got together with our daughter and Andrew during the Christmas or holiday season at all. Not even on Christmas day. I did get a text from her late in the afternoon on Christmas Day, apologizing for leaving us hanging so to speak. There was another text later about doing a video get-together a week later, but I had to work.
Things have been silent since.
We try to give her as much space as necessary as she deals with the mental and emotional issues that pop up whenever they do. But, it is very hard as a parent, as I'm sure many of you know far too well.
So, to say the "vibe is off" is likely a gross understatement at best.
We start yet again another day, going "what the fu@k."
