True, I'm very happy to see that you saw the new baby! What did they name the little guy? Isn't it nice to get away for a while and just have some fun and visit w/friends and family for a while?
We had a little bit of snow Saturday evening, but it was gone in no time. I'm really not looking forward to the white stuff, but it would be nice to have a dusting for Christmas.
Enjoy the rest of the week and do not allow your h to bring you down.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I'm sure the snow looked so pretty but I'm like you, I do not like to drive in it. Here we get lots of ice & not as much snow & no one, including me knows how to drive in it.
I hope your H is not trying to play mind games with you by calling you by your pet name & the "love you's". Just try not to think of him right now, I know that is easier said than done, I need to take my own advice.
Thank you for posting to my thread! I think of you often.
Thank you for your kind post. Yes, it was nice to get away for a while and to visit my family. The baby was given a nice, short Scandinavian name.
I hope for you that you will have a dusting of snow at Christmas. Here it has been snowing quite a lot. To start with it was wet but today it was very dry so I could see all the different snow crystal formations. It is truly amazing how filigree they are and how much they all vary in pattern.
Like you I don't like the snow. It is most annoying when I stay at my sisters for a day or two, and when I want to drive home I have to dig out my car first! Apparently, we are having a record-like amount of snow at the moment, and in some neighbouring countries they even had 1 -2 metres snowfall in a very short time. At least I don't live in the mountains.
Anyway, I wish you a nice week-end and not too much snow. Take care.
Thank you for thinking of me. Would you believe it, I have been on this BB for almost three years! Oh gosh, time went so fast!
Three years ago was my first Christmas alone and it was also my first time I had to drive in snow. I stayed at my sisters for a few days and two hours before I wanted to leave it started to snow really heavily. By the time I had to leave, the streets were covered in snow and I had to drive very slowly all the way home. All I know that you must not brake hard or not at all if you drive in snow and on ice. You must change gear down or use the manual function if driving an automatic.
I usually just don't go anywhere if it snows, like tonight. I wanted to go to a Jazz concert, but preferred to stay home.
It is very hard not to think of H as he seems to write to me almost every second day! I needed some info from him and he needed something from me as well.
I got really angry today as I had to clear the snow off my car. I thought I could be in a warm country if H didn't leave me and we didn't have to sell off everything! Usually, I am not angry but just sad. I also questioned my staying his friend, but by the evening I had no angry thoughts anymore.
Hi Cinders, Nice of you to post. I know how emotionally exhausted you must be and hope you feel better by now. Yes, just think of you for a while and pamper yourself.
Thank you for posting on my thread. We had about 2 inches of snow yesterday morning, my dogs loved it! I didn't have to go anywhere so I stayed home. I hate driving in it also. By afternoon the roads were clear. It is supposed to warm up to about 50 degress today so it should be faily nice.
I can't believe you actually hear from your H so often. I know it's hard not to think about him.
I've got to clean out some gutters today, the leaves have piled up & that makes me angry also that H is not here to do that, but I did want the house so I do have to deal with it but if he had not done this he would be here to help.
I can't believe you have been doing this for 3 years!! I'm already divorced, shocking.
Hi nlt, Thanks for dropping in. We also had some lovely and sunny days and I took some pictures of the landscape with snow. It all looks so pretty. Here it is also supposed to warm up and rain by Wednesday.
I sent H a reply to his question last week but have not heard from him yet. He might be mad again as I am sure he did not like the info I sent him.
I have been at this even longer than 3 years, as H left in summer 2005. - It seems as it just happened yesterday! - It will be my third Christmas alone, since last year I spent it with H.
I will also have to deal with the house on my own. Hopefully, there will be no leaves in the gutters, as I cannot reach them without climbing up a ladder which I will not do.
I had quite a nice week-end. I went to the theatre with one of my GFs and we enjoyed the performance. The roads are clear and dry and driving is no problem at the moment. I also went for some nice walks in the sun.
Thank you for posting to my thread! I always love to hear from you.
Well, if you H gets mad at what you sent him that is his problem!
I can't believe it's been 3 years of Christmas without your H around. I'm so sorry!!! This is my 2nd year & it does just all seem like it was yesterday & like a nightmare. I think I'm going to wake up one of these days & this will have never happened.
You do sound good. I'm glad you are getting out & seem to be staying strong!
Hi YR and nlt, Thank you for your encouragement. Actually, I was quite happy until today when I thought I could put up some Christmas decoration. Memories started to come up and it made me just so sad.
Yesterday there were not so many people at the club's meeting which I anticipated. So after everybody had left, I literarily ran to the theatre. I managed to arrive just a few minutes before they closed the doors and still had to buy a ticket. I saw an operetta which was quite nice. The roads were clear and so I had no problem driving.
I was glad I went to the theatre as this morning we had a lot of snow and so many roads were closed. I will have to stay at home until the snow melts. Unfortunately, the forecast for Christmas is that it will not be white anymore.
H sent me a friendly reply.
As I said before, I got quite upset today when I saw the Christmas decoration. I thought if I could afford it I would sell everything in the house and buy all new things in order not to be constantly reminded of H.
H wrote to me that he does not want any of his things he has in his place. He does not want to see them again!!! Is it because it would remind him of OW since his place was their "love nest"? Or is it anything else? - H still has a lot of his personal things at my place as well.
Has anybody experienced the same thing with their WAS?
