I am with you, Frank. I believe that we have both done enough. We need to focus on nurturing ourselves and being the people that WE will be comfortable being.

Talk to you soon. Good job.

I'm good today. At the suggestion of 25yearsmlc I'm going to go see 'Yes Man' tonight. And I'm also looking for things I can 'join'. Time to GAL, get out of isolation.

Hey all,

for the record, I'm a film buff and do some work in the field, and I didn't say "Yes Man" was an Oscar movie...but d11 forced me to see it, and I do like Jim Carrey's comedy, so we went. Then, to my pleasant surprise, there was something heart warming and a little provocative in the otherwise sappy message. Saying "yes" to the universe, GAL, and not staying stuck in isolation after being rejected...kind of seemed a little timely and appropriate to some people around here...
It's probably a good time for lots of folks to see it. Hope you liked it (enough).

STBX came over today to print more brochures. Luckily the printer worked better today. However, she has problems understanding how to do things to get both sides printed and messed up. I didn't say anything negative and tried to be helpful but she was frustrated.

I smiled and was coordial.

While waiting for the printer to prepare itself, she stood in the doorway of my office and looked away. She seemed kind of sad or uncomfortable.

She went back to 'her room' and I guess she was updating her checking account information. She came into my office a few minutes later and said that she needed to transfer the $120 she put into the 'house' account for her share of the cell / insurance bills back to her account because she 'made a big mistake'. I said 'no problem'.

Didn't talk to her after that. She went back to her computer work and then left.

I felt a little anxiety but I'm ok now. I was kind of glad she wasn't being cold or angry at me. She just avoided me.

You know what I don't get? She will still smile at me sometimes. It's rare but real. Like we would 'normally' smile.

Most of the time she looks away or avoids eye contact now.

Now...where are those Red Bull gals?
