Thx antlers... if that was a soft 2x4, I think I needed it! You're right - it is demeaning and does zap my energy, and good mood! I bounce back, but it does take time to rebound.

Good news today - OW won't be working at the shop this fall. So, I can work my hours for ski pass sales and just focus on the job (it's fun to talk about skiing pre-season with people), see some of my friends, and if H notices that I'm doing fine well that's an added benefit. But it's not my motive. Just think it will be easier without OW working there.

With my dad sick, my exercise has gone out the window. I really need to schedule my workouts or it's not going to happen. I have tennis tmrw with my kids, but my ST goal for the weekend is to schedule some activity. Maybe a hike or run Sat am to kick things off.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend at work today. I gather he left his wife for another woman, but he told me today that I should just sit back and wait. H will come around and realize he's making a big mistake and lost the best thing that ever happened to him. Just takes time.

In the meantime, I keep working on myself to be the best me I can be. Someone H would be an absolute fool to leave!
