A new thread, a new outlook.....

[Can it work]

Hi there MsM.

Yeah the DB coaches really help put things in perspective. I've had my 3 sessions for now and think I'm going to wait a while until I schedule any more. I have plenty of ideas to be working on now so I'm just going to see how it goes for a while.

I took Wee Man to my IL's house this morning because the child minder is ill. I'm still getting on great with all my W's family so it's really helping me cope. Unfortunately though, I'm not going to be having Wee Man over to stay with me for a week now. I should have had him this weekend but I've got a wedding to go to on Saturday. I'll be getting him for the next 2 weekends after that though so it's not all bad. It's really good that my W and I are remaining flexible with visitation so things like this don't cause too much hassle.

I've got a friend coming over tonight to watch a DVD and have some Chinese food so that should be entertaining enough and pass some time. I then have to do some overtime at work over the next couple of days so I'll be working 7 till 7. Not the best thing to have to do on my birthday but I'm sure I'll live.

Speaking of my birthday, I'm curious to find out if my W has got me anything or not. Like I said previously, I imagine she'll probably get me something from Wee Man but not from herself. I could be wrong though. It would be nice to think she'd still want to get me a card at least. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

My BIL told me something interesting the other night. My MIL is still giving my W a hard time on occasion about things relating to the separation. My W had told her mother that she was thinking of getting a cat. Her mother then went on to criticise her because she already has a pet (a lovely beagle we got together that I ended up looking after permanently) and that she needs to pay more attention to her. Lo and behold, my W suddenly decided to take the dog a walk that very night. I don't mind having the dog but it was quite upsetting that my W had loved her so much and then effectively abandoned all ties with her when she moved out. Hopefully it'll be yet another thing which may assist in keeping us close. After all, the dog hasn't done anything wrong.

I can't seem to get motivated at work today. Not sure why though. I don't think it's anything related to my sitch. I just don't really feel like being here today. It's nearly lunchtime though so I might be better this afternoon. I hate feeling like this because it makes the day pass so much slower.

Anyway, I guess I'd better go now and try to find at least some motivation so I don't feel like I've achieved nothing the whole morning.

Keep smiling.
