Thanks itsy. I will be posting a no show policy soon. The harder part will be enforcing it!
A little break from the old routine while H was gone was good for me. Maybe for H too, we actually had a hug when he arrived home and I jabbered on and on to fill him in on things he should know about. So I changed the homecoming routine too, and it seemed better than what it's been.
Feeling pretty frazzled about some things and pretty happy about other things. GAL is still extreme, takes my mind off the junk sometimes.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
