Hi Kalni,

The thought for the title was kinda a play on words in my head. Piecing for the forum, piecing or re-building the M. Back together was the two of us rebuilding the M. Not sure if that is clear but basically I felt the two were working on the M, W hasn't said this but now I can see her actions are speaking volumes.

Yes for me it's extremely frustrating that we haven't ML yet, two years ago I was thinking if we just ML, that would show that W is committed to the M. Now I can see that there is much more to life and the two of us than that. Actually if I look back 2 years after W first A I think she was fence sitting cos I hadn't really changed, and then she never really got back into the M cos she still had the old me. Now I can see that my changes /actions are prompting her actions. For every action there is a reaction ?( not sure if this fits).

Hey I almost forgot about GAL & work on me, I'm sure you still have to do these things when you're piecing.

W seems to be interested in the new friends that I made and the places we go to, so she's invited herself to join me on our next night out with them. Actually I'm happy she's coming with me and I think W is happy that I'm finding the old me, the guy she first met and fell in love with.

Some may think this as vanity, but in the early days after the bomb you have to think of ways to change yourself lose weight, change hairstyle, new clothes, body piercing etc. Well one of the changes I thought about was having a wart removed. You see I have this wart the size of a pea on the side of my face just below my left ear. I used to be very self conscious of in my late teens and early twenties, but it never seemed to put anyone off me and no one really notices it, just me (or little kids). Anyway the medical practice we use advertises that they can carry out minor procedures like this. So I've made an appointment to be assessed then have it removed. I'm not gonna tell W about it and I'll see if she notices.
