I had a bit of an emotional hijacking this afternoon, but it's past. It's a cycle I go through. When we are together, things are generally friendly and "normal" so I slowly convince myself that things are better than they are -- and then get shocked back to "reality". It's that shock that hits me every time. Fortunately, the shocks seem to get milder and shorter each time, and the peace I feel between them seems to get a bit deeper and longer.
I Left and went out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. We got talking and it turns out he is also going through a similar sitch - a bit different and a bit longer than I have, but similar enough that we could compare experiences and agree to support one another. That was a good feeling to know that you are not alone. I'll probably be going out with him a lot more often.
I also got a call from my Sister inviting me to a concert this weekend - music I haven't really listened to in 10-15 years. It will be good to get out and have fun in a crazy kind of way without my W.
