Hi everyone! Good to know my friends still check upon my thresd since I've been relatively dark here for a while.
Missher- Thanks for the alternate perspective and the potential view of the road ahead. I haven't read much into the stages of crisis and, quite frankly, don't want to as I would probably take up mind-reading and over analysis again. I'll post what occurs here so I can get whatever feedback you offer. I have a feeling this will be HER attempt at going dark. Can't say why but it just feels like 'something' is afoot.
I find the Status comment interesting given it was about 3 months ago that she actually put "Yes, I am getting divorced' as her status. I kept all of these little tidbits of dysfunction. I stoppped about a months ago.
Sunny- Thanks for the compliment and the re-focus on the Greatest Hits. In keeping with the analogy, so far I have the track list and a concept of the album cover art but NOW I have to record all the tracks. I need to be wary of the musician downfall of needing it to be "perfect" in the studio. Perhaps, this will be a LIVE album? Leave some of the raw edges and imperfections in as it preserves the naturalness and energy of the performance. (Hey, I LIKE this analogy!!)
And I also liked you comment about 'who is she trying to convince?' I think that's appropriate, too.
Gritter- Not sure I like the hurricane idea. I like the calm of the eye but it also tells me I'm gonna have "the other side of the storm" to go through. I was hoping this was more of a prairie storm where you get it and then it's over.
I also thought it might be aimed at Goober but the defriending was simultaneous and she's been remarkably quiet all week. Not a text or status all week. Perhaps she is going to give me a taste of my own 'dark' medicine? I am going to enjoy the peace and quiet. I need some.
I was talking to my/our honorary DB friend (I'll call Hutch). He suggested that my difficulty sleeping (can't get to sleep and having a REAL problem waking up) is that I am FINALLY depressurizing and this is my emotional/mental crash after all these months of "the edge". I think he's right.
Anyone else have one of these delayed burn outs?
As always, all comments, advice and lumber is appreciated.
