It begins ... with a slice of comedy.

I woke up this morning having interrupted a really funny dream. I was having a rant at my W. I was complaining that by leaving she had ended up turning our house into what looked like the contents of a charity shop! (Do you have those in North America?). Clearly my mind is dealing with the issues in its own way. It really made me smile.

I had a bit of a better chat with one old school friend last night who was more supportive and very surprised at the news of the separation too. I guess it could be a guy thing, and also that I generally keep emotionally distant from people (a trust issue). I don't actually feel that fragile now I have minimal contact with her. A clean break is actually quite healthy.

The tough stuff does consist of moments which catch you out, like you and the pillows, and me and music. Still I find music incredibly therapeutic at the moment.

The holiday is sorted by the looks of things! I am off to Turkey for two weeks, traveling around to see the sights. Should be a great break hopefully. Will be resigning from my job today and accepting the new one too. Big changes.
