Rowing
Tomorrow is Winter Racing Series Race #4 WRS#4
Today (Friday) we had a training row. It was a good row. We did three 18 minute pieces. 6 min at 20, 6 min at 22 and 6 min at 24. All at ideally at 80% effort. I felt that the boat sat up well and timing was pretty good. In all I walked away feeling good.
Breakfast well attended. Always sign of a good row.
Mel & Phoebe, Seven, Paul and Kathy all dropped in.
Cancelling a credit card
Easier said than done
THURSDAY
1. Pay it off.
2. Get $50 by converting points to cash. The balance is now $50
3. Transfer the $50 out.
4. Try to cancel but the $50 is pending and the system won't cancel.
Would be nice to be able to queue the cancellation.
Now discover there is a $4 cash advance fee. That's a rip off in anyone's language.
FRIDAY
5. Now the balance is -$4.03 so I am sure uncancellable.
6. Transfer $4.03
7. Try to cancel but the Transfer is pending.
WEDNESDAY 26-06-2024
The balance is 0.03 and it wont let me close it

Wedding Aniversery
Today 20 June is the wedding anniversary.
Reflecting on the end- I wonder how much I was hurt by the loss of the institution and how much by the loss of Megan. I had, I thought, a strong attachment to a old fashioned conservative view of life. Being married fitted with that. That all came crashing down. I think I strongly considered that vows were contracts not to be broken.
I spent a lot of time in the latter half of the marriage, wondering what is wrong with me.
It does reinforce in my own mind that we can not see ourselves. I can not see me if that makes sense. I must have been really really rotten / nasty / fucktard / deadbeat /looser ... to hurt Megan to such a degree that she could not stand me.
For me the separation was really painful. There was an initial sense of relief because it was an extremely cold and lonely existence. Then the sense of loss and rejection flowed in. It was like waves on a beach. First they washed over refreshing then they came over like a tidal wave. Drowning.
Time is a healer though and although the painful memories surface at times like this when the date comes round, now days I feel much better. Having a wonderful loving girlfriend has made a huge difference.
Megan is tripping around Europe. I hope she is feeling free.
