Well WCW, I hope you are doing well. I get worried when you do not post after you have had hurt feelings. I know that this is familiar stuff but lately there is so much grief and exhaustion on the DB board that it is affecting us. Just by reading too much I got caught up in the foreverness of my own disappointment. Things have improved very much for both you and me but we are tired. We easily derail.
I became tearful reading on your friend Jeff's thread in 'Divorced but not done'. His sadness is contagious. His realization that if these situations run on too long they are not usually resolved happily seemed horribly true. Somebody posted and reminded him {and me} that we are in control of our own happiness and peace. Usually, I know that and so do you. Shall we regroup?
This afternoon, I took a risk and when my H called to ask whether I could travel next week, I just gave him the green light to go without me. He may, but surprisingly, he thought he might put the trip off. He speculated about whether he should just come back to WI for the week... there is a lull in the cheese action out west. So, clingy little Flicka feels better for that and got a very good response from the wayward one.
It seems that whenever I just give up and distance myself in a careless way, things work out better. I will be sad to miss a trip to England but I am glad not to feel obliged or resentful because it is so rushed and difficult. I have to think this through better.
Did your Cowboy come home and regroup? Did you make more cookies? Shouldn't you invite your wolf dog in? It is going to be so frickin' cold! I am assuming the cat-boys are already cavorting under and around. Do you have a way to plug in your truck? I used to use a block heater... it was magical. I need one for me, now.
So Cowgirl, I feel lucky that we can catch up in the real world. I do hope that the board would reconsider their policy for contact info. We need to start plans for our second annual DB Rodeo.
