Still no word on OM's parole. Those other inmates I have been tracking and who were up for parole around the same time as he was (Nov 07) have all been paroled pending a central office review. All three did no less than 15 and no more than 22 years for the same crime. It's strange he is the only one left that has not been rendered a decision one way or the other. Maybe very soon.
I went to my S7's school play tonight before coming to work. He did very well. The stbx was there snapping pictures when I walked into the auditorium. I didn't sit by her because I was late and the seats around her were taken. I sat a few isles behind her. I have not seen her in a few weeks and I was taken back by her dramatic weight gain. I've never seen her that heavy as long as I've known her. She's had to at least put on 20, maybe 25 pounds just in the last year. Her face was bloated and her eyes were a little bloodshot. She doesn't seem to be taking care of her health. This is not like her at all. I'm kind of worried about what is going on with her, but I won't dare ask and she won't volunteer anything. I have a feeling she is somewhat depressed. Maybe the uncertainty over the OM's parole is bothering her, I can only guess. When she first started seeing him before I knew about it, she was going to the gym religiously and really looked hot. She was always in a pretty good mood to. It seems like she has totally gone in the opposite direction since then.
They had cookies, cake, and bug juice for the kids in their classroom after the play. My S7 asked me if he could come home with me and I would give him a ride to school tomorrow. I explained to him I had to work tonight and couldn't do that. He seemed very disappointed and I noticed the stbx was a little taken back by his disappointment. She took him by the arm leading him away from me and whispered something in his ear, but I don't know what it was she said. He's been very clingy to me recently and wants to come over on the weekends he is suppose to be with his mother. I wouldn't mind, but I'm sure she would. He's a boy and he's getting older, he wants to do guy things with his Dad. He told me over the phone last week that Mom wouldn't have burping contest with him and she gets mad at him.. lol. I asked him how far in the alphabet she could get in her burping voice and my S said she couldn't get past the letter "A". I told him there were just certain things we guys find entertaining and are good at that girls don't like. He agreed to let her slide on that in the future.. lol
Anyway, I'm doing great. I had a nice dinner date Saturday and we had fun dancing afterward at a downtown night club. I had a surprise phone call Sunday from a Woman I dated a few months back. I don't know if I told you, but at our last date, she told me she would rather wait until my D is final before dating me again. She told me to call her when my D was final. Of course, I honored and respected her request and didn't call. Now, she was upset and asked me why I never called her over the past couple of months... LOL. I reminded her of her request and she told me I was close enough to a final D and she wanted me to join her and some friends for her birthday celebration in two weeks. I agreed and assured her I was only honoring her request and didn't mean to give her the impression I was ignoring her. We did seem to click on the few dates we went on, but she was really hung up on the legal matters of my D.
As the world turns, my D gets closer and a new world is opening up to me. It feels very much like the transition from winter to spring. Your bitting at the bit to get out more often and enjoy the nice weather after the long cold depressing winter. The warmth and reawakening of life feels good to the soul!
