Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Wanted to login and give a quick update in the rare moment I have. Things are progressing nicely forward.
mahhhty - not a chance that I'll stop working!
Wonka - DB is life. I've been making sure I still STFU and validate as much as possible. Still working on my 180s, and I'm certain I'll keep identifying more as time goes on.
jedi - Ready for December?
Post session 1 has been completed, and we are doing all the tasks they put to us with energy. The Retrouvaille program went beyond all my expectations. W and I are communicating in ways we never have in our 11 years together. We are anxiously awaiting each consecutive weekend to build upon it more and more. W has even mentioned us potentially volunteering to help the program.
S5 has started kindergarten and LOVES riding the bus. Some behavioral problems with him, and yet that is expected with the big, sweeping changes he's been through. W and I are actively communicating each day on what we can do together to help him through it. Most importantly, my relationship with him is still strong.
I'm looking at a new job, should they offer enough money. Apparently I one shot the multi-stage interview process and am being offered after the first. I won't have to drive all over the city, and it's only 5 minutes from home. Will give me all evenings and weekends to be with my family. We definitely need the time to keep working things out.
I'm going to try and keep updated as much as possible and start reading more threads when I can. I did notice a pattern with other Piecing DBers that there is a period where you are so focused on the M/R that lose track of posting. I'll be around!
