Yeah, I was hoping to do a fall leaf-peeping thing, maybe with a day trip into NYC for a show (its only an hour away on the train), or Boston (about 2--3 hours). There is hiking, maybe a balloon ride, something like that.

I just got back from a great time at the party. Lots of adult convo, very supportive friends and "family." It felt very good to be there, surrounded by so much support and just some happy moments, even so close to home. The kids all played on some slip-n-slides, drew in the street with chalk and rode bikes, then inside to watch the High School Musical 2--there were about 15 kids, all sitting around the big screen eating popcorn and being good to each other.
I had three (!) Strawberry / pina colada--type drinks (like hard ice tea) and was loopy for about an hour; another 180 for me. Good thing it is just social--doesn't do a thing to change my moods. And I'm enough of a dizzy blonde as it is.

Still on the path. Oh, btw, it is 8 days and counting of my no-contact. I know H never thought I could do it. I'm not sure if I thought I could. But this is a different place. I read Nomo's thread as of late, and hope that the detachment doesn't come at too high a price for me...
