Thanks, GB. How are your welts today? And I'm looking online for some potential "leaked" photos of the driveway strip-tease....

You may hijack my thread anytime. I'll keep this breif so I don't hijack yours...

From what it seems, I am so much like you. I'm known as a complete research nerd in a cheerleader costume. If there is anything I hear that I don't know, I love to look it up. I can see myself evolving into less of an overly-attached-LBS, and more of a detached case-studier, such as yourself. I'm still just reeling and grieving. Stuck in fear. Wanting to cling and help a hurting man that I love dearly, but I cannot help. And I just miss him. I can't even look at photos from last summer without coming apart. And then, finding out I would need to find a new job was a huge kick in the gut on top of this. That took away any wind I had left in my sail.

I appreciate all the insight here so much. I'll keep posting, laughing, falling, overthinking, over analyzing....but I'll get through it. Somehow smile.
