Hello lovely Jim! I realised the other day I don't ask for editing support from the board much any more. I just tend to reply to my H and be done with it....progress hopefully as I worry rather less what he may think.

Glad to hear from you, and sorry things are feeling a bit flat. Sounds like your W is in a cool phase for sure. It interests me that she remains so phenomenally uncomfortable in your home and presence. It isn't apathy or disinterest for sure and it tells me that she hasn't processed and move on. Strangely the extreme discomfort gives me hope for you. Although I can appreciate it may not feel 'hopeful' when it happens.

Sorry it's a quieter weekend than you would ideally like. That happens to me sometimes and I tend to try and add in another GAL option for longer term fullness of life. The ladies club I am in is linked to the Round Table movement. There is a younger version of what I'm in for 30-45s - separate male and female clubs...but they have some links. Would you consider joining anything like that? I'm enjoying it so far....

Pleased for you on the work front and great that you got a good review (I expected no less grin ) It's nice that your boss recognises the challenges you have faced and how well you have done. I used the phrase keeping my head above water in my own sitch in the early days. Sometimes that is as much as we can do and I'm pleased to be beyond those days.

As you say Jim, it's just a normal day here. But I'm choosing to celebrate my own 'independence' which I'm enjoying just now. I hope you enjoy getting some jobs done, relaxing, reflecting on life and so on.

Have a good weekend xx
