Sheesh... locked another one. Here's my last thread:

NikB #26

Not much new to report. Still pretty sad over that race driver. I tend to obsess over stuff like this and read every little detail I can find. Our company lost some people including a guy who had done some training at my office in the World Trade Center on 9/11. To this day I am fascinated with stories about that. Anyway I read way too many details about this poor driver... the only 180 there is I'm not sharing everything with H. I obsess more about their life than about what happened at the end. Maybe another way of facing mortality eh? My bro become totally engrossed in geneology after my grandma died - different but similar, I guess.

H called after work to see how my day was and let me know his plans for the night (doing a bunch of side work to make money for the racing). He hasn't called in ages just to see how my day was - that felt really good.

Also told me that the SWAT team came and arrested a guy from his work today! WTF! He said "Well I know he's been separated and having problems with his W, maybe that's what it was about." Ummm.. they don't send the SWAT team (undercover no less) out for that. This guy's gone out with us to photograph the races a few times, seemed like a really nice guy. No one has any clue what it's for. H brings up bad sep/D situations somewhat often though. He used to bring them up as if they were positive. I guess that's good that it's negative now right?

He's been more positive in general lately too - really focused on the racing and how to get things going with that. And when he for example fixes something and I thank him he'll say "You just didn't know I was that good, did ya?" (not cocky though, just in a cute tone). Far better than his really down days.

As for me... back to the grind at work! I'm trying to kick butt on my project the next couple of days so I can ask for that week off in June and get it. Also planning to go out with some friends tomorrow night for happy hour, so that'll be fun. I missed my "GAL'ing" things for a few weeks (I promised myself one meetup or other friends get together once a week). Glad to get back to that.

OK that was a totally jumbled post \:\) just wanted to get #27 started.

Thanks all as always for the support!! Much appreciated.
