Just talked to W for the 4th time today! It's been nice. Making sure I'm the one who ends the conversation and appearing busy (because I am today) seems to be working. Glad to have more contact right now, but expecting some pullback.

Read the chapter on Depression in DR and got some great insight on Friday. Will write about it here later.
Fantastic GAL day yesterday. Took my canoe fishing with a friend early in the morning, then disc golf with another friend, then hanging out with some other new single friends.
I haven't spent much time with single people since my separation, so when invited to hang out with these guys and girls Thursday night at a pool party I felt awkward. They're my age, but I haven't done anything like that in a while. Got over feeling weird and had a great time. Actually thought about taking my ring off. LOL. Last night was more good time with them. They're all college friends who live together, but it feels like college again. Yesterday reminded me of some of the things I gave up when getting married. Why not take advantage of them now, instead of moping around?
W and I had a great talk late Friday night, and her curiosity seemed piqued by what I'm up to. Feels good.
Had a dream about W last night, our families were getting along and we were reconciling. Woke up feeling good. Wish it was more than a dream, but I can't remember having a good dream in months. GAL works!

Lost, I'll definitely catch up on your whole sitch soon. I've read all the recent stuff. Keep it up!

Jon, glad you had a great time!!!! I feel so damn depressed because me or our daughter haven't heard anything from him since he sent her that card on June 8th!
Just keep on keeping on, and start posting what you're doing for YOU! Dealing with a depressed apouse is very long, tough work. I have some questions after reading your sitch. Will post on your thread.

I'm now focused on '08 taxes, due on the 15th. Just one thing after another.
It's been a very tough couple months. First I laid my Harley down because I had so much on my mind and wasn't paying attention. Can't afford to fix it right now, and it's killing me to drive the old truck again.
I'm working hard to keep my PMA and be confident, just had a lot happen at once. Yesterday at the gym I weighed in at 206. Very close to my goal of 200 already, need to set a new goal! Haven't felt this good since college.

W just called, our monthly IRS payment will be $44.28 for the next 5 years. So, we've got to figure that out. Looks like we'll be forced to have contact for quite some time, for better or worse. Time to act as if whenever I talk to her.
Feeling really good today, started with a 6:30 Bible Study with the worship team guys, and have been hanging out at church all day while I work my part-time job. Career coaching deal tonight. I need days like this.

Glad she seemed to like it!
