GM - Yes the feeling chemistry is well, intoxicating. Then it's immediately terrifying because you don't want to lose it. I've had it twice this year - lost it once which was hard and we'll just have to see what happens next.

I am taking the what seems like unanimous advice here and giving some space and time. I do hope I at least get an acknowledgement from Barbara on my birthday Thursday. Her's is on Sunday.

So tonight I have kept myself busy by finishing up the book I have been reading. It's called "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. What a great read - very suspenseful. They are making it into a movie for release next October. Should be good.

I've decided to keep my birthday celebration with Marianne for Thursday as well. It will be good to get out and have a drink or two with her. We never lack for conversation and have a certain level of comfort with each other.

Thanks for chiming in everyone. I really rely on the soundboard this group provides.
