Advice Welcome, separating and W moving out soon..

Thanks PP. You're right, positive interaction no matter how small is definitely better than anything negative or nothing at all.

GAL has been good this weekend. Friday night BBQ with friends, stayed out too late but enjoyable. Yesterday I met up with another friend and had my first experience with firearms ever.

I hope this doesn't ignite any gun control or other related arguments, but I have to say I was in no way prepared for how therapeutic that was. I've tried meditation several times with little luck (my mind wanders too much), but being in the range with ear protection, constant hum of the HVAC, and putting all of my focus on respecting that weapon and hitting the target was closer to this than I'd ever achieved before.

I have a long way to go before I feel comfortable with it from a being smart / safety standpoint. I'm not so much into hunting or anything like that, but I do think marksmanship / target shooting is an attractive option.

On the W front, nothing new. Went not quite 4 days before she sent me a text, just a random humorous picture. Still, that 4 days might now be the new NC record.

I'm not sure why I keep a tally on this, but I do.
