I'm glad to be back and I'm going to address the posts from my last thread right before it shut off, then get to the new ones.

Gypsy - I am envious of your ability to be at peace, even though I know you struggle. You said "The big change is that I get up faster. I recover faster." That is the place I'm striving to reach - lower down times and much, much longer up times. I have some females to chat w/ and I'm becomming more aware of what boundaries really are, how to set them, and how to make sure they are respected. It is a new lesson, but I'm learning it.

bizarre - dating is tough because it does mean the M is over. XW has her new man and it makes me sad to see how quickly I was thrown aside. I really don't bleed for myself, but for my D. She's the one who is really confused about it all. But, you are right, and I'll keep getting back on the ol' horse and trying until something clicks.

Carlos - The trip was awesome! It is difficult to describe, but just being there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I'll never forget...along w/the other 1.8 million people. As for moving, being free of the house is wonderful. I'm still paying for some of the old bills on the house, but that will end after this month and then I'll be completely on my own...and hopefully have the canned goods put away by then too.
