I clean houses for work. I don't have kids. I don't have a lot of money. I have anxiety. I bowl with my dad. He is a retired cop with PTSD. I have PTSD after being in a traumatic situation. I am seeing a professional for it. My job distracts me from my PTSD.
I am a pediatrician. I work during the week. I treat my patients as if they are family. I also like to go bowling and skiing. I have two kids. My children are 8 and 12.  One is in elementary school and the other is in middle school.
Have you decided whether you are going skiing or are you going to cancel your plans because of that big storm that is supposed to hit this weekend? Based on the reports I think I may have to postpone it which is a huge bummer because my kids were really looking forward to it. Oh, your kids ski as well? How cool! I'm not the least bit athletic. I've always sort of wanted to try skiing, but I'm afraid I'll hurt myself. How hard is it to learn to ski? Yeah they're learning little by little. It'll take some time and you'll have to work your way up but once you've gotten the hang of it it's not too hard. Maybe I should give it a try. I might surprise myself, right? I can imagine I would like hanging out in the lodge and sitting in the hot tub, too! So what are your weekend plans now that skiing is cancelled? Yeah go for it! I think you'll do a good job. Yes the lodge is really nice and cozy after a long ski session. I'm not too sure yet we'll have to brainstorm some things. How about you? Got any plans? I'm hoping to get to spend some time with my dad this weekend. We haven't bowled together in a while, and it would be nice to visit with him. I'm trying to get him to buy a bicycle so we can ride together. We both need the exercise. That's awesome! I'm sure you both will have a lot of fun. I haven't seen my dad in a while. How is your dad doing by the way. He's doing pretty well. Thank you for asking! He's been doing physical therapy lately for his hip. Wearing a gun belt all those years took its toll on his body, unfortunately. Do you live near your dad? Well I'm glad he's doing okay, I know it can't be easy having to deal with all that. I hope his pain goes away. My dad's quite a ways away. I haven't seen him in a couple months but our kids visited them last month. I'm sure your kids enjoyed getting to see their grandfather. I bet he spoils them like crazy! Yes he loves to buy them whatever they want lol.
