Every time I think I have survived - there is a new stage that is better than the last!
I think I will call this phase the Giddy Phase. This is the phase where The X doesn't matter. This is after you have rebuilt your life again. This is the phase where you can laugh again for no reason at all! This is the phase where you once again want to explore the possibility of an R - not to fill a void - but b/c you want to share the good things in your life and maybe get a little support during the rough spots.
I found out today that pictures from that fundraiser will be published in our local suburbian magazine. I think that now makes me a socialite! I live in the most married suburb of it's size in the country (according to the US census) - so won't get much exposure as single and available...
And my brain is working AGAIN! Since August - I felt so sluggish. And I dreaded answering the question "And what do you recommend?" - b/c I was tired and losing my nerve. Today - I am okay with there being no right answer - just the best one that i can make up.
And I feel all silly and relaxed while I am working.
GAL - GAL - GAL - my new panacea for all that goes wrong inm life! Sometimes you need to take a break when you feel like you can least afford to take one.
I am off to write nonsensical things about things that really don't matter - but someone is willing to pay me to write.
