Life goes on, and gets better.

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I went to the gym and worked out a lot and feel much better- I turned Destiny's Child Survivor way up and it made me feel better. You guys are going to yell at me, and I expect and accept it, but I had a little crush on a guy that I met a few weeks ago. He was giving me a lot of attention and then I think he got freaked and backed WAY off and that definitely has effected my mood too. I think knowing this guy was interested in me was helping me move on and distracting me. I honestly don't think about H much anymore, but every once in awhile it just hits me- HOLY CRAP THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING TO ME.

I actually did write back to H's friend's fiance the other day after I got her email. I just told her how I was doing really well and that I was keeping very busy, teaching a few courses over the summer, training for a fall marathon, etc. I even mentioned that I had been on a couple dates (I don't think this would get back to H, but I don't really care if it does). I also said something about how it was very difficult in the beginning because it came on so suddenly and blind sided me, but that my friends had been so supportive that was helpful. She responded saying that my H hasn't really told anyone anything other than our problems are unfixable and that we would be getting a D this summer so they were under the impression it was mutual. She also told me that her and her fiance had decided to invite us both to their wedding separately because they considered both of us their friends and they wanted me there(aww). I thanked her for the thought but told her that wouldn't be the best idea and that her and I could get together after the wedding so she could share pictures with me.

Brit- unstructured time is not as fun as you'd think. Especially 2 months of it. There is only so much you can do around the house and I can't really afford to go out and do fun stuff all the time. My house is big and lonely too- it was fine when two of us lived here but now I get pretty lonely at night. My plans are to get in really REALLY good shape, learn to golf, do some house projects, volunteer, etc. This week I am teaching a course for other teachers and next week I am teaching a course at BC, which is pretty exciting. I have 2 teacher friends that live nearby- one is pregnant and the other is going away for 6 weeks. The rest of my teacher friends are about a half hour away- which is doable, but again, I only have so much money I can spend.
