So that last post was REALLY LONG and I doubt anyone has the fortitude or patience to read it all --- except maybe 25 - who i was replying to smile

SO in order for you guys to not give up and have your eyes cloud over -- quick update.

W is out of town again this week. She took S to visit extended family in another state. They return on Saturday night. A couple of weeks ago when she was out of state, it was really relaxing to be away from the sitch - from having OW in my face through the incessant texting...not having W sleeping on the couch, etc... BUT I also had S with me then. This time I'm alone with the doggies (two sweet very small breeds - great company -- part of the family!!)

This is the first night with just me. It's quiet. Again, a relief to not have to deal with seeing W so close in proximity but not emotionally. I'm going to make the most of the quiet. I'm a scholar, so I'm going to try to do some research and catch up on some other work I need to do.

I also plan to get some mindless movies/tv show dvds to watch. Any suggestions? Fun== funny---- engaging etc... to keep my mind off things. I'm giving myself permission to NOT worry this week about the R. Just to be here alone and enjoy it.

Wish me luck my friends! (btw S has only been gone since this am and I miss him so much already. cannot imagine having to LIVE apart from my boy....)
