Hi NW, The run was good - took my mind off things for a while - and left me tired in a good way. It was a bit hard to run with the wind blowing so much dust in my face at the end...but it was also distracting in just the right way.
My S11 wanted to watch Journey to the Center of the Earth last night - so that was the movie for the evening. Tonight he's talking about revisiting some Harry Potter...so we shall see.
You're very right about our W's - their decisions, their destinies, their paths...there's really no other way to get around it. Sometimes it's just her timing that frustrates me - we've been doing so well financially lately - that if we stayed together we would have been in a very good place soon...but now it's all a mess - two households, cut-up income, additional expenses for each of us...so inane...
But I'm also finding that this change is motivating me to work a lot harder than I had for a long time (too long) - and that's big plus. It's intimidating at times, since the economy is in such a tank, but it's also encouraging to see how many prospects there are out there.
Today is a mix of working and hanging out with the boys. My S11 doesn't have school until Wednesday, so at 3 we're going to pick up S2 and then we'll have a great afternoon of just the boys at home.
How are you doing? You should add a link to your thread so folk can find you easier...
