John,

I hear you on the sleeping thing. I think I will sleep less when I am more detached. I actually sleep more now, don't know if it is hints of mild depression or what, I put the kids to bed, think I will go get something done, and suddenly I am asleep, too! Going to focus more on getting my house in order figuratively and literally and that will keep me up later the next few weeks...

Glad to hear you had that moment! That feeling that you think someone else is pretty darn interesting and worth getting to know. Nice to have some positive feelings flowing, eh?
I had a similar moment in the car yesterday with a particular laugh that my H had, I said something, he looked at me, grinned, burst out laughing, and there I went again....dang it!

Oh well. Glad for your D8 too, that she can talk to you about her feelings and also that she isn't feeling so sad about the situation at this point. I am sure there will be highs and lows but the fact that she leans on/talks to/shares with her daddy is a big, big plus....

And I am NOT a doctor but some pma-boosting, happiness-filled time with someone of the opposite sex sounds great to me!
