Today went well because I successfully allayed the beast twice, remained effective and functional to responsibilities, AND came to terms with a new friend. Success by my standards in this world of cluster. He is to make one more appearance soon and I am waiting. I usually post at night waiting for his worst mood, he's not finished yet.
I am beginning to find, during the day, he will stick his head out and growl, but I don't get scared, and wait for him to overtake me. Today he made me aware of his presence and threatened, but went back into his cave and seemed to not be up to his old self. I withstood the 4-5 and felt and fended off the 6-7 with minimal help. Perhaps its the strength knowing this site exists and the inspirations I get from some readings. I really, really hope he is thinking about hibernating again. It's been a long one this time.
I feel him trying to muster his pride to be his old self again and his pride will make him try his best again tonight. I've got him measured and he's getting tired, but still very capable.
Thanks for being here through this. Kevin
