Hey CBK,
I am very glad to see you back. I am with you my friend, we are living something so intense that without some time off we would be ready for the madhouse. Take your time, recharge.

Journaling a bit.... so the famous W birthday that she was so swearing she was going to spend with the girlfriends (not that I asked anything) she actually spent it with OM (dah!). I don't know why she lied about it. So she showed up with this AWFUL new necklace, something I know she hates, obviously a present from OM, I saw it and she kind of smirked, I just cracked up laughing... "he got you THAT?" She changed all the colors of the face, I could guess she was "uncomfortable"... embarrassed by his lack of taste. It was good because I managed not sound jealous and look "sincerely" amused.
I spent the Saturday night at a party, I had lot of fun, and met very nice people. A girl, payed a lot of attention to me, and that was very good for my self esteem, she was nice and funny, and I went along with it. After a while she asked me to leave the party with her and go to eat something.... didn't feel like and I kinda felt rude... but hey.. I just wanted more to be around people. I went to sleep at 4:00 AM, like I didn't do it for years (10?) Woke up at 8:00 AM with a HUGE headache. Four espresso later I am kind of fine.
BTW - W called me while I was at the party - I didn't answer - she didn't leave any message.... perfect
