Guess I belong here now...

RL, I'd love to think that he'd eventually realize that love, friendship and commitment are what a marriage is all about, but part of me is unsure if he'll ever get to that point.

I just hope that he doesn't go from one woman to the next, never figuring that out. He needs to be a good example for his son.

I was right about my trip; so much going on that I never had a moment to think. I was able to catch up with some people I haven't seen in a year, so that was nice. And it was probably 80% or more men, so it was nice to get lots of attention!

I got back on friday and along with some work, spent much of the last few days catching up on schoolwork.

I sent xh a text when I returned, thanking him for checking on my cat. He forgot once and I'm pretty sure he only checked on her once, but she was alive, so I overlooked the negative and decided to use woa to thank him.

I think fl woman may have left on Sunday, because xh texted to find out if I was home yet (even though we'd discussed several times i'd be back friday) and we casually texted for a bit.

Last night he texted to find out when I needed to go and get my key. I just told him I was in no hurry and I'd let him know when I was on his side of town. He said ok and I didn't try to continue the conversation.

Right now I'm feeling pretty strong. It may have also helped that my manager from last year kept commenting on how great I looked every time I saw her last week. Of course, she only saw me a few times last year (we work in different locations) and it was always after a long day of dealing with people, so maybe that's the reason I looked better now!

She was about to get a divorce last year, but over the past few months they both decided to work on things together, so I'm so happy for her.

Since I do feel good, I'm trying to get as much school work done as I can and possibly get ahead, as I'm sure I'll have some bad days in the future. But for now, I'm enjoying the day. And tomorrow I'm meeting up with a girlfriend for dinner so I have something to look forward to.
