Under some heavy deadlines today, so this will be brief.
I waited until just before midnight to respond to my W's latest email, in which she told me that her e-filing of taxes had been rejected. She thought it might be because the AGI was incorrect, but wasn't sure. This was her first time doing this herself, and she actually thanked me for doing it for her last year.
So just before midnight, I forwarded along a scan of her 2010 tax return so she'd have it for her records.
Now, I'm thinking that she doesn't have another excuse to contact me, so I'm expecting darkness... Although have "No Expectations" and all that...
Time to get back to the path I'm on. Strength. Loving Conviction. A path for a brighter future.
One day at a time my friend. Who knows what tomorrow brings? And if she keeps looking for reasons to contact you, I guess it might be suggestive. Then again, it might not. Detach mate. I know I need some of that myself.

Quick Goal update this morning. Two things I'm going to focus on: Get back to my 5-6 day a week workout routine (Has slipped to just 2-3 this week) and, more importantly, keep focusing on detaching. I know I'm making progress in detaching, but I'm far from where I need to be.
I've printed out a couple blank calendars this morning, and I'm planning on keeping up with both of them.
I think I got this idea from an episode of Seinfeld...
Anyway, on the first calendar, I'm planning on marking an X every day that I do something active for more than an hour: I.E. hit the gym, go for a run, play a sport... And my goal is to never break the chain... Every day there should be an X on this calendar.
The other calendar is for GAL... Every day that I do SOMETHING just for me, something maybe out of my comfort zone (meaning new and exciting) or something that makes me feel better about myself like working on a novel/screenplay/story, joining or participating in a group activity where I can meet some new people, reconnecting with old friends, even something like watching a movie or TV show that I've really wanted to see... At least 15-30 minutes a day of PURELY ME time and I'll be able to throw another X on that calendar.
And I don't want to break those chains.
I think that by doing that, the detaching process will continue to get a little easier. Looking back over my previous threads, I'm SURE that I'm doing a better job now than I was say a month ago, but there's always room for improvement.

I'm not one for T.G.I.F-ing very often... but Holy T.G.I.F! It's been a brutal week work-wise and I'm very much looking forward to the weekend.
I've decided to take an impromptu trip up to Central Florida with my puppy so I can attend my little bro's early Halloween party on Saturday. Plus, it'll give me a chance to catch up with some old friends and watch football on Sunday with about half of my fantasy league!
I've marked my second consecutive X on both of my calendars this morning even though it was an EPIC struggle to get out of the door to hit the gym... The good thing is I've NEVER regretted going to the gym, but I often regret the extra hour or so of sleep I get when I miss it... Gotta keep remembering that!
Nothing new on the sitch, as I haven't heard from W again since the tax-related conversations. Which was expected. Despite Starsky telling me not to bank on continued darkness, I'm still pretty sure I won't be hearing from her in a while. Which is fine, as detaching is an awful lot easier when we're dark.
So I'm off to hit some more deadlines before trying to leave work early so I can get a jump on the long drive to the middle of the state.
I've used it in the past with success.
