Hi Wonka -- thanks for checking on me! That brings a smile to my face :-)
I am doing okay. Our weekend was actually pretty good considering it was Valentine's Day weekend. When I say pretty good -- I just mean that Monster wasn't present... The tough part about that is that I am seeing more glimpses of the W I know and love -- no love or affection, but more light-hearted interaction and some actual small talk (not about the kids or stuff like that). That part is hard, as everyone here knows, because it reminds me of what is missing...
She worked from home today and had a IC scheduled for about 2 hours ago -- sounds like she just pulled in -- so I'm guessing she needed some time to decompress before coming home knowing I'd be here when she got back.
I'm taking care of myself with continued prayer, meditation, interacting with friends and family (at least by phone when I can't see people in person), and trying hard to hear/understand the path of healing and growth that I need to be on right now. Having more and more moments of clarity with regard to that -- so I think the time spent in prayer and meditation is helping me become more connected so I can hear and understand what I need to do for myself and my family.
Still no progress on the job situation -- but I know that is in God's hands as well and when it is time, it will happen. :-)
But to directly answer your question -- yes, despite the absence of Monster, I do think my W is still in orbit!
