Yay for Christmas bonuses!! The city took away all the longevity pay last year, so who knows if my H will get it this year. That was a big part of our Christmas money
It is something how making one change can improve your life the way your quitting drinking has. Imagine if everyone made just one positive change in their lives.
It's funny, you talking about a big juicy steak. My H has today off for Veteran's Day, and we are going to go get some steaks to grill tomorrow. So, thanks for making me crave one!
I know it is hard not to think of W with om, but you can't dwell on it, it will get you too stressed out. He is obviously not worth the room he is taking up in your mind. Any dumba** who would do what he is, is just not worth what it costs you in peace of mind. If she is flirting with you and being all friendly, just act as if this weekend, and then pretend it never happened, say nothing, and go back to the nice way things have gotten lately when the weekend is over. Eventually, she may see the difference between you two, and the scales may weigh in your favor. I just can't imagine this om R being sustainable for a long time. I think she is probably stressed out, too. It's going to wear her down, eventually. I agree with you, she has to see that the changes are real. My H said the same thing to me; he had to wait to see if the changes were real, and said he saw they were. And things are so much better. I know there was A going on, and sometimes it gets on my mind, but knowing we are continuing to fix us, and that ow is gone from our lives, helps me to not dwell on it.
Well, if things are going along fine, let the D stuff go. Maybe she isn't as interested in it right now.
I hope you and the kids have a terrific weekend! vc
