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.

yes, we do have those places; and I can quite clearly picture what you mean in my mind. Very funny image Nothing like some humor to lift the spirits.

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.

Good to hear on all counts. As I mentioned to mkultra in her thread, maybe you want to be working on that 'trust issue' during this break. I know that this "process" (or "personal hell" as I like to call it..Just kidding) anyway, I know that this process has already shown me that I am a lot stronger than I thought. So, what better time to really stretch and do some "scary" things? I mean, what I would consider "the worst" already happened and I am still here to tell the tale.

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.

Wow! Yeah, talk about big changes! You'll sure have a lot to reflect on at the end of 2007. When do you leave for Turkey? gosh, how exciting and exotic. I am a bit jealous. My H and I decided that neither one of us is allowed to spend $$ on non-necessities. I think a vacation would fall into the category.

You should get a myspace page (or some other such thing) when you come back and post pictures!
