Some updates:

- I feel great, have for the last week+, since the pick-me-up from uR and others

- I haven't seen or heard from the L yet although I know she met with her

- I'm switched over to insurance through my company. D2 remains on WAW's

- I don't have D2 for the rest of the week, so I'm taking a couple days off work and driving to the Keys. Escaping the bad weather that's coming! Going by myself - solitude. My phone will mostly be off.

- I have a tentative date next week with my salsa instructor from the fall, and I had a 5 hour conversation with another girl last night. Neither are sis' BFF. For now this is just for fun.

- Sis told me that her BFF broke up with her BF/fling and encouraged me to ask her out again. I told her that I'm still really interested in her but I don't think now is the best time for either of us, and especially her. I've had such a change of heart from the fall/summer when thinking of a potential new girl. I thought I was ready to immediately start a new, life-long R, and that all I needed to do was find her. Now I realize that I need some single time and even a few dates.

- I booked some flights for our California trip in May/June. WAW was not thrilled with the fact that we'll be in Cali on D2's 3rd birthday, and also the weekends before and after. I validated her feelings and told her that I did not intend to block out her birthday. I didn't even think about it. But if we were going to go on this trip (which WAW was generally okay with), this was the only week which worked for all parties that are traveling or hosting.

- We set the D2 calendar out through June. We've went from 3-day rotations to 4-day rotations, now we're up to 5-days. I know we will eventually get to 1-week rotations, which WAW still says "no" to. But long term, it will be so much easier to plan and execute, especially when she's in school.
