I'm actually at work already. Nowadays, I spend a lot of time here.
The time difference is annoying but it is amazing that we are able to communicate half way around the world this way.
My weekend was so so. I just can't make myself 100% removed from XH...I guess that easier said than done after 11 years together. Our lives are still intertwined to an extent. XH's niece is trying to set me up with a guy, and I'm very excited about that. Hopefully, that will happen soon...it's time for me to get out there. XH and OW 1 year anniversary is coming up next week.
I will take DD out for breakfast in the morning (there's a really nice cafe that opens early in the morning, and they make the best scrambled eggs with fetta cheese, DD and I love it), then drop her off at school, then head off after that.
I know what you mean in regards to your XH, and it will take a long time to get over. But that is normal, you two have been together for so long, you can't just switch your emotions for him off overnight.
Time heals everything. Before you know it, you will think "What the heck was I thinking?".
It's good to have your niece do the "positive vetting" on any potential partners. Sort of like the middle woman. I hope he turns out to be amazing.
I think you should go out and treat yourself on your XH's anniversary with OW. You should celebrate your new amazing life.
I hope you enjoy your breakfast with your DD and then have a good couple of days away. Hopefully, you'll be able to take your mind off of this. What do you do for a living?
