A New Decade

[AliSuddenly]

Hey MrsM! WOw, poor you for all the falls! Well done on proceeding with the D, I think thats brilliant. So he's still away then, did he thank you for sorting the D paperwork out !?

Dont worry about the calls to M3, I agree with Julia, I bet he was pleased to hear from you! It must have been a little boost to him, whether its friendship, or anyting more. Good for you for having 3 men to potentially hang out with! I only know men in their early 20's here.. so boys really!

Ah Michelle, LOL - so right you are about bosting pics of me bum on facebook!!! But ... I'm just not that riskeeee ... although it would be a 180!!! LOL - thanks for the laugh!!!!

Ali, Yes, my H did actually thank me for sorting it out. MF1, I've kept in contact for years & he has quite a few friends & likes going out. So that is good & he makes an effort to call me now & again.

Julia, thanks for the pick me up - so right you are!! I have to break out of that mode or mold. It's such a bad one to be stuck in. (Thinking men you get on with have zero interest in you). My bum, surprisingly isn't hurting so much. Yep, my sister told me - to try & not kill myself (via accidents) until after the D!!! LOL

How are you doing Ms M?

[MsMelancoly]

Hey Julia, Thanx for checking up on me I'm doing good. Had a busy work week. Met with & hired the Pro Se clerk to help with the D papers. I emailed my H about the D paper deadline & such.

It's a strange feeling. Guess, I'm even to the point where I don't care if he even emails me back. No call from M3, but that's ok - we are just friends anyway. I think I will call MF1 & see if he's going out this weekend.

So didn't you have snow there?? Was it a novelty???

[MichelleLT]

Glad you are doing well.

Keep moving forward

Have a great weekend!

[JCJ]

Yeah, snow is a novelty (usually about once a year!) although it is soon wearing off as it is still here and is mostly now slush.

I'm glad you are doing well and are detached.

You get loads of snow where you are don't you?

xx

[MsMelancoly]

Yep, Where I live we do get loads of snow, although I'm south enough that there's always a chance it will melt. Like this eve it's raining & tomorrow almost 60F/15C. (Which isn't typical).

So surprise M3 called me last night! We ended up chatting for 1 1/2 hours! (He's not into email or texting, which I find odd but good. Always prefer real conversation anyway). It's still so, so strange to have him offering to tell me what he did on the weekend and ask me about my weekend. His seemed quite eventful & fun. He went to see motorcyles race on a frozen lake! Never heard of that before. Kinda crazy!! Guess they put chains on the wheels. Unfortunately, mine was quite pathetic & didn't have much to tell. This weekend he's off to his cabin w/his sister to enjoy nature. I think what I find most intrigueing is when you are acquaintances w/someone for years, so you just have a certain perseption of them & what they like & what their interests are. Then you get to know them & find out your perseption in some instances was way off. With M3, my perseption was way off! Pretty much blown out of the water, I'd say!

[MichelleLT]

Hmmm sounds like a good thing lol.

[AliSuddenly]

Ohhh.... he phoned you on the eclipse! Could be the start of something.. you certainly sound excited by him...??

Well, an update on me. This weekend ended up being a GAL weekend. I'm glad I'm not a GAL freak, because it would wear me out! I was so tired today.

Friday eve went out for dinner & drinks with a co-worker & 2 former co-workers. A very nice time of catching up on each others lives.

Saturday, shoveled snow & went out to dinner & went to the movie Coraline, with my sister & 2 friends. Coraline was a pretty cool movie with 3D glasses & all. The 2 friends we went with are married. The husband was driving, in the snow covered streets when we left & my sister & his wife were telling him which roads to take. Then later she complained about him not having both his hands on the steering wheel. Through all that he was silent. I just kept thinking how annoyed he must feel. Me, I just sat there & listened. Strange how I pick up on situations differently now. Left a message with M3 earlier that day to tell him about some bands playing in Chicago & that if he wanted to hitch a ride with my sister & I to give me a call. He called back & said the show sounded cool & that he might go with us.

Sunday M3 called & said he would go. I totally thought he would bail & not go. Actually, I didn't believe he would really go until he was in the car w/us. Since he used to live in Chicago, he was our mapquest to the venue & really inside as well (taking us to the balcony away from the main crowd & the little mosh pit). Strange that during the evening M3 went downstairs to get a beer, I didn't realize mine was almost gone before he left. He came back with a beer for me as well - ah, how sweet. Later, I went downstairs to get us drinks & one of my H's old friends saw me. He said, where's J (my H)? I said, he's divorcing me & kept on walking through the crowd. I have to say it was a bit odd, uncomfortable & I was caught off guard. After the concert we walked to a cafe for a bite to eat & a drink. A very nice evening, good bands & fun company. WE all got on well chatting & being witty.

So, today I'm dead tired & dragged myself through the work day. Received an email from my H, stating he was back in the US & would call me tonight or tomorrow night. This should be interesting.

Well, time to go snuggle on the couch with my dogs
