13 days since my W and I have had any contact. It's not so bad really. I know because doing this is better than any pleading or ILY's, I miss you's etc. Not to mention that my sanity is in check. I do miss her though and wish she could go to that show with me as I know it is one of her favorite bands as well as mine. It's ok because my sister is coming down to see them with me and I know I can have fun without my W. She does not complete me. I did my first day of training for my promotion today. Boring! It was all reading and studying but I do believe the next few days will be more intensive. I am staying in a suburb of the city I am doing business in but plan to drive in to town to get dinner and check out the 'strip' instead of getting dinner in some staid chain restaurant. This promotion came at a great time because I truly really am busy and am not available. I need to remember to fill out my days with activity (perhaps take that stress management seminar) when things slow down though.
