Yes, I agree, they are using their energy to pursue a dream made of smoke. Personally, I choose to pursue my best possible self, and that which is real.
I ended up having a pretty good ride today. I got 18 miles in on the bike path.
My W did text me right before the bike ride and ask what time trick or treat was. I texted her back with the answer and mentioned there was chili in the crock pot.
My W made it for trick or treat, albeit she was a little late. It was helpful having her pass out candy at the house while I went out and canvassed the neighborhood with my S. The couple of times we came back to the house, my W had her phone out. I tried not to think about who she could be texting or whatever. Of course, I had my phone out, too, but I was monitoring this message board on it. I will have to say I felt some anxiety while I was out trick or treating with my S.
When we got home from trick or treat, my W had shut down and was inside talking on the phone. After yesterday's incident, I assumed the worst, and shot her a couple of dirty looks. I found out after she got off the phone she was talking to her Mom.
She ended up staying for chili. She actually liked it. I thought it was pretty good, too. I pulled it off! I was pretty excited about it! I probably let it show a little bit too much. My first time ever using the crock pot. I think it kind of knocked my W off balance a bit - she was asking outside earlier if the chili was homemade and I confirmed it was. She asked about the ingredients when we were inside. The conversation was for the most part, pleasant. I did my best to set last night's incident aside in my mind. She offered up an indirect complient. A friend of hers had said I look like a totally different person after my weight loss. On the flip side, she did ask me when I want to go and work on splitting up the phone plan. It didn't sting as much as the first time, though.
