Well, as part of my GAL activities I had a small bunch of friends over yesterday to help me decorate the house for Christmas. Had food, cocktails, etc. - everyone had a great time, including my son.
I was wondering as the lights and such went up how long it would be before W asked for some Christmas decorations - couple hours later, in the middle of the get together, I get a "can I get some of my Christmas decorations, kiss the baby for me" text. I didn't respond. Frankly, we've been together so long it's hard to tell whose decorations belong to who.
Starting the holiday season without her being around has been tough. But having friends over to help took the edge off. I want my son to have a good Christmas despite our sitch.
As a GAL activity I also volunteered to participate in a clinical research study for a new medication for a specific kidney disease. Trying to help others.
Keeping busy has been kinda hard, but I am sure trying. Over the past week or two I have been feeling better. The books and this board have helped. I remain hopeful, but want to concentrate on me as well. Right now, there is nothing I can do with WAW but maintain my distance.
