I can't believe it has been 20 days since my last post. WCW when do we start working on the young ones? Swim season is nearing completion now and spring is not to far off. I may just need some more horsemanship skills on youngsters. As a matter of fact, I always need to strive to become a better horseman. My swim season has been great so far. We are approaching the end of the season and the team has surpassed expectations. I am sticking to my personal self and have changed my diet, along with w. W came to me last week and asked "please don't move out, I am getting really scared you are ready to leave for good." It appears that what I am doing is working and we are starting to build a better bond. OM is still in the picture, but he always will be given the circumstances with ss. W has not spent the night away from home in two weeks, and has had limited interaction with OM. Do I think things are over between them, no, but this is the longest stint were words from her and actions are lining up. She is showing more affection and all. I am still taking things in stride and riding the horse that brought me here. At times, when I feel myself getting sucked in, I back off. Sometimes just out of reaction, I suppose. I am getting paid more compliments, etc. Kinda nice, like typical h and w stuff, except with the 800 pound gorilla still in the room. I went to the dr. to get some things checked out(blood work, urinalysis and x rays) as I have always had some "tiredness" issues, but magnified at the start of the sitch and as I have leveled out over the past year have not gone away. They think that I have a sleep disorder since all tests came back fine. I will be checking into a sleep center in the next week to find out a course of action.
