I intend to live forever - so far, so good

[ClingingToHope]

Went out last night and I'm trying to spend as little as possible so I'm laying on the couch going to stay in for the night. The phone rings and it's STBXW. She's taking D12 and D8 out to dinner for D12's birthday and she wants to know if I'd like to come along.

Sure. I say. And I got off the couch and took a shower and headed to the restaurant. The girls were very excited. The meal went well. Before STBXW paid the bill I said I'd split it. She said that wasn't necessary then she saw the cost -- it's an expensive restaurant. I will send her a check next week.

After, I walked the girls to the car. D8 thanked me for coming to eat with them. That's a sad statement in a way.

Then I headed to church. I made it in time to the 6 p.m. service. I love the song "Mighty To Save."

Funny. I ate too much at dinner and I all of a sudden felt exhausted. Probably a mix of eating too much, adrenaline of being together again for dinner.

A friend texted. They are going to a downtown bar and I'm going to meet them for a bit.
