Aye. I look at how many things I've changed about myself the last two months: lost about 50lbs; started and kept on a rigorous exercise regimen; started taking my kids to more activities, became more involved in church, started writing again.

I start MC tomorrow, and I have to say I'll be wonderfully surprised if anything good comes out of it. My W seems content to play "roommate" wife, and despite small acts of kindness and thoughtfulness, there's really nothing there anymore for either of us. That's sad.

But tomorrow I'll wake up, get dressed, get my girls ready for school, drop them off and head to work. Just another day in the life of Pinhead. No worse than most, and a lot better than some.
