WHG: And so we file...

Amazing what a walk with the dog can do for your attitude

Thanks LA... but there isn't finality, right? As 25 has said, "It ain't final until the WAS says 'I do' to someone else"

That doesn't mean I'm going to sit here and pine away counting the minutes until she may return. But it also doesn't mean the fat lady has sung.

Life goes on. Really no other choice, right?

On the walk I recalled the comments from a woman I was talking to last week.. "you're good looking, you seem like a really nice guy, you have a really good paying job, and why are you single? You must just be taking time off." LOL... well, yes, sort of

The walk made me realize I've gotten sloppy the past few months. Maybe it's been depression, old habits, whatever... but I look at the goals I had and some I've certainly done. I have more GAL. I continue to improve my R with SS, SD. I am loving all the time S and I get together with no one to answer to.

But I put back on all the weight I lost. I stopped exercising when W moved downstairs in January where the treadmill is. Then when she moved out I made the excuse of trying to figure out how to do this with a new schedule in place of childcare, etc... When the reality is I just stay up too late and eat crappy because I can

I started changing that back last week, but need to continue. I need to continue cleaning up the financial mess my W left in the wake of her departure. I'm on top but need to make more headway.

I'm going to go down to the notary tomorrow morning with a smile and positive attitude. Maybe I'll even buy myself a coffee and bring her one too. This is what it is. We both own parts of it. Somewhere recently I've started to lose my compassion for her.

Time to get back to living my life. For too long I think I've mistaken and held on to this lack of filing as my "lifeline". As things really aren't going to go to hell in handbasket before they might ever get better.

But I guess they will. And that's fine. Countless of others have survived and thrived... I can too.
