A tiny ray of light

[JR2007]

Man, it feels like that everyday doesn't it?

You'll get through it - hang tough and go do something to distract yourself, I hear Pirates 3 is really long

[NMHurting]

Can't afford the 7 bucks to get in JR. That's how tight funds are.

[NMHurting]

Use a credit card and join a gym man. It's literally saved me and it costs a buck a day.

Hoping my new apt has a nice gym. It's on my shopping list. I think I may go out and look at a couple places today.

[JR2007]

How you holding up today? Did you do anything nice for yourself yet? At least go get a nice shrimp dinner or something.

[NMHurting]

Today is not a good day. I've spent 1/2 of it crying. I feel like I'm back to step 1, day 2.

[JR2007]

So are you 37 now?

That's the part that sucks for me. I feel so old. I had become so comfortable with my family, and life, and man, I got DAMN boring. We're still YOUNG! We can be exciting and spontaneous, and unpredictable (with fun things, not with jobs, as I found out ).

Just gotta show our W's that we're changed, that we see what's up and we won't forget again.

Chin up NM, you'll make it. we're here for you. Next B-Day will be 1000000X better.

[NMHurting]

Nope no gym. I've already dropped 40pds since this whole thing happened just from my meds and the stress. I went and looked at an apt. It has a nice workout room. So hopefully that's where i'll hang my hat.

So since i had to cancel the night out due to funds...she went out with OM.

Why am I even bothering. I don't feel like I can win this.

[NMHurting]

Today is not much better. Other than I had the crying under control most of the day. It was my day with D12.

W gave her $30 to take me to the movie as a day late bday gift. Had good time with D, movie sucked though.

W is at the OM's apartment so I didn't get to see her like normal when dropping D off. I did however see MIL and I asked to speak with her in private.

I apologized to her for the way I had treated HER in the past. And thanked her for providing for my kids and wife.

NM, sorry to hear that you're so down, I feel the same.

I holed up in apt. today and anguished alone. But I must move on and so will you! I have loved and lost many times and you know we shall rise again!

A buddy sent this to me, helps in getting my balls back!
