Sorry, BA. I've been alternating craziness between D16 and work. I'm not sure if I'm winning or losing.
Yep, happy about MNF outcome. I'm an admitted homer now, and the Donkeys are my team. It's sure better than where we were a few years ago. Being a sports fan in Denver has been pretty miserable until now.
Anyhoo, maybe you were supposed to do all this dating and work for a good reason. I have faith that you're coming out the winner, no matter what. Your attitude rocks, and I'd definitely stalk you if you we're here!
I had one of the most surreal conversations with my XH yesterday after work. I had come to his house to pick up D16 (we're taking turns with her). Since she was sleeping, he offered me a margarita on his patio. No arm twisting necessary. I had 3. I have an old friend (before I even met him) who works for his company and is coming out to do some training on his project next week. Weird. He asked me if I wanted him to give Elena my phone number to call while she's here (we have been out of touch for awhile). He assumed she was still married to her first hubs, and was stunned when I told him they divorced 2 years before we did and that she remarried. She kept her first married name, which totally puzzled Mr. W.
I continued the puzzling when I told him I'd keep his last name too. He wasn't angry or anything, but the convo got lively. I told him I doubt I'll ever marry again anyway. He surprised me by saying it isn't in his cards either. My eyebrow went up, and he just said, "been there, done that, and your tshirt is enough for me." Said with a big grin. Don't know how his GF feels about that... He thought it was funny when I told him I dumped Sweet Stuff. I told him I'd leave out the details, but that it was looking like I enjoy my alone time more. He said he understood.
Anyway, we seem to have come a long way in 10 years. For whatever reason, when D16 has issues, we seem to get along really, really well. I'll just be grateful and leave it at that.
I'm home with her again today since her face still looks like a chipmunk. We're watching for dry sockets, so I'm happy keeping her quiet and resting. I just wish work wasn't so damn busy. It's hard to snooze when people need me!
Keep on keepin' on...
