WAW and me in 11th hour!!!!

[Ken62]

Finishing week 2 of NC and there has still been NC between either of us.

Did a lot of GAL this past week. Friday had a "double date" of dinner and a show with my office mate and his wife and my younger lady friend. After the show the younger lady friend and I went back to my house to have some ice cream and watch a movie.

Saturday was getting ready for a party I had at my house for some of the cast from our show since it had been two weeks since closing. 10-15 people showed up and we had a good time eating and watching Young Frankenstein and playing some games.

Sunday I went to church, mowed the lawn for the first time this year, went to see the closing of a wonderful show by myself and then had an impromptu "dinner date" with a friends co worker who was in town visiting family. She has been divorced for 6 years and our kids are pretty much the same ages and genders and she is 52 and I'm 48. It was a nice dinner with talking and she gave me some advice and we both just had a nice time talking and listening to each other.

Monday night younger woman stopped by and we watched another movie and talked. Tuesday night went to a show with another lady friend and then stopped over at younger woman's place and talked some more. It is nice spending time with other people who are supportive and good listeners and also still call me on my sh!t.

Have different things planned for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and then head to Philly on Sunday for a week as one of our clients is "going live" on our software. Have an IC session on Saturday.

Still hearing from all the kids and I keep our conversations to just me and them and don't even bring up Mom. I've just finished the book (CDs) of "It's called a breakup because it's broken" and really enjoyed it and it was very helpful. Also ordered 4 new books from Amazon.

I know that W is in rehearsal for a show but that is about it.

The only thing that seems odd about NC is that it kind of feels like playing "chicken" or having a "mexican" standoff with my W. It's like neither one of us wants to be the first to initiate contact. Kind of a stubborn thing. "I'm not going to give them the satisfaction." Is this pretty typical and what kinds of "messages" should I be getting from this?

Maybe I'll post next week from Philly.
