Hi Wonka,

Yes, I understand that. In fact, going out tomorrow night for a retirement party for a good friend of mine and planning to stay out as late as I want :-) (She will be at home with the kids.)

Definitely doing things with the kids as well, but I also know that beyond tomorrow night's event I also need to be finding more opportunities to do stuff on my own with some of my friends and will be doing that going forward.

Definitely not planning on sitting still and just waiting. She is nowhere close to "waking up" yet and I know that is going to be a long process... if she ever does "wake up."

Had a good IC session today focused on how I can hold my own in more difficult conversations in order to be able to set some boundaries and stand up for my needs as well as what is best for the kids going forward.

Now I just really need to see some progress (for my own sake) with regard to the employment situation. I am hoping that the retirement party tomorrow night will provide some networking opps in addition to just some fun reconnecting with friends.
