Hi Ellie and everyone, it's Bridget-with-the-red-guitar checking in with you all.
I'm finally feeling calm and stable again. My border collie is four years old now. Hee hee -- so is my R with my "new" partner!
I've been living in a beautiful valley, getting outdoors a lot, bought a bicycle, became a baker, survived a bad hand injury, healed up just fine, rescued a great older dog and went on three trips to the beach this summer.
Have been disciplined in my relations with my ex and his family. I'm really proud of that -- healing old wounds, don't pick scabs. My ex and his new wife had a baby boy this year. What can you say? I have compassion for them, starting with an infant rather late in years... and the babies are innocent and dear, eh?
