So surprise, surprise - I was served D papers today!! I guess my H did take the last 3 weeks to think about things & to make his decision. I'm sure the sherriff officer who served me thought it was strange that I was smiling, joking & making conversation with him. Well, I am happy my H finally decided. A bit sad, am I - I suppose. More so I think relieved, because I'm ready.
Fate .... again ....maybe ....

Hi Michelle, Thanks for the advise - I totally agree & am going to keep my GAL & PMA going! I can see from your DB signature, that men are pretty decisive once they decide to D. Oh, there's my dam sarcasm - again!!

Yes, It was a bit uncomfortable to ask M3 out. Ah, I was thankful for cellphones & voicemail when I called him !! So, then I wasn't putting him totally on the spot. The uncomfortable part was answering the phone when he called back ... was I going to get a yes or no.?.
Yes, hanging around the boards, I do see there is a long way to go in the D process.

So I was re-reading the D papers, it seems that my b'day is really on 2/2!! LOL :~ (ok where's the crazy face?) Does that mean I can celebrate again, without adding another year and .... ask M3 out for my b'day again???? Too funny!!!

Well, just a bit of journaling today. The other day after receiving the D papers, I changed the lock on my house, so my H nolonger has entry. Don't know if that was the right thing to do, since many of his things are still here. Yet, I did it more as an act to protect my privacy and move on w/life.
So, I called M3 last night & opened with a silly statement when he answered to break the ice (so to speak). Then I told him the answer to the 2 ciders we couldn't remember from the other night. We were talking about the UK & I told him about having a snakebite black and snakebite red & how good they were. Can't get them here in the US. Well, not without buying a pint of cider & a pint of ale & mixing them together yourself. I told him about my D papers & the mistake w/my birth date & asked him out again for my b'day. He laughed. He didn't say no - so I said to him that must mean a yes. And left it at that. He also talked about his D briefly too. We ended up chatting for an hour about misc things, even though he didn't feel that well. I made him laugh, by being sarcastic & witty at times. I offered to take him to the thrift stores here sometime, if he wanted. Strange how he told me what he had done that day & what his plans were for the weekend. He also asked about my day & my weekend plans. Again, I only say it is strange because, I'm not used to being asked even those vague questions. We each have are own plans, of doing nothing important for the weekend - so that's ok. No awkward goodbye, as I told him my phone battery was dying & it did, before we said goodbye. I didn't call him back to say goodbye & left it at that.
All I have to say is damn it ..... that my LL is quality time!!!
