This morning I got a text from SDA Lady...entirely in Tagolog. As I was replying "what does this mean?" she texted me "I'm sorry Whatis, I was texting my friend in HK. Again, so sorry" I replied "Hey, any text from you is a good one!" She replied "so nice of u, I miss talking to u." ...and yes, my heart melted yet again!
LOL actually I did! It made no sense in regards to me. She has given notice to her employer and is lining up a friend from HK to take over for her. She's going to apply for new jobs and when her Permanent Status comes through apply to a pharmaceutical technology course. She was a nurse in the Philippines and wants to transfer her skills to a different career in the medical field. She can't go to school until her Status comes through, she's waited 18 months already...for a Status that used to take 6-9 months. She can stay with her employer until she either gets a new contract or the other person comes from HK to take over and that takes 6-9 months. We talked for about an hour last night about this and other stuff from our day. She's so good at making it about us and not just about her. She's just as interested in my mundane day and amusing anecdotes as she is in her news. Have I mentioned that she's a real sweetheart lol?

LOL. Time will tell Being Me. I just went onto the dating site to hide my profile, as I'm never there anymore, and apparently she hasn't been there since before our five hour coffee date either. I'd say she's a happy camper right now, as am I.
Btw, my divorce papers were filed today. Sometime in the next two months I will become a free man. SDA lady and I talked about our marriages and she was in a similar boat to me. She was hanging on trying to make something work until she just got physically sick from it. Finally, after her doctor said "divorce him" she decided to do it. She fought to save it for 8 years and was married for twenty. She told me it was so hard to talk to me about this but she wanted to. Her parents still don't know she's divorced because in the Philippines that is a big shame. There is no legal divorce in there. She filed for it here. She says some day she'll tell them but that day isn't now. Her daughter and sister know but telling Mom and Dad will just have to wait.
