Epilogue

[Telemark]

Thanks, MTS. That means a lot to me, as do all of the replies.

I'm doing surprisingly well today. The last few weeks have been very difficult; lots of self-criticism and regrets. I also found myself missing my W more than ever. But I wasn't getting anywhere; just wallowing in my own misery. I'm not sure what helped bring about this turnaround - and who knows how long it will last? - but I'm becoming more comfortable being alone. I also realized I was being very impatient, thanks to lots of people here who gently pointed that out.

I'm trying to squash the feeling of anxiety and urgency to "move things along"; there really is no good reason to hurry along the D proceedings.

I still have a half-empty house, but that's OK...I just paid for my daughter and I to fly down to my son's graduation from basic training the end of October; that's money I am very happy to spend.

Thanks again for checking in.
