Good morning, not much to report, as usual. D16 and I got the paint samples, it's one of the last pieces of the bathroom remodel. I will be glad to have it finished and the kids out of my bathroom!
Yesterday I had lunch with my priest/therapist friend. He's a good listener, and I have listened to him for so many years that he's very indulgent of me. It's great to vent sometimes. He says that I have a "healthy" attitude about things, which is a word both my IC and our MC have used about me. So, hey, I'm a mess, but that's "healthy"! ;-) Actually, I'm not a mess lately, I'm doing OK. Sometimes I'll have a panicky moment, but if I acknowledge it and sit with it a few minutes it subsides.
The more interesting part of lunch was how many people I knew at the restaurant. That's true wherever I go. I live in a big city, but our neighborhood functions as a small town, and I just know a lot of people because of my job and my kids. One of things MC asked H on Friday was if he was going to start taking OW out in public immediately after the separation begins, and she asked him to consider giving it a cooling off period for the sake of the kids. Because there's nowhere he can go that someone who knows me won't run into him, and then those people talk to other people, and then someone's kids overhear, and then it's in my kids face. But like anything else, he hadn't really thought about that. Where has the man's brain gone? What exactly has he been thinking about these past 5 months?
