So first day on the new job behind me. It went pretty well, although a little slow. Met a lot of the folks who will be on my team, and had a nice conversation with the lady who sits right next to me. Turns out she went thru a D several years ago, and actually met her current H where we both work. She said it's a friendly group and good place to meet people. She also encouraged me to give everything at least another 9-12 months to settle down before attempting to date. Get comfortable with myself. Of course it's great advice, but nice to hear it reinforced, and nice to be right next to someone who I consider a success story after going through this. She was very friendly and positive.

I had to run home at lunch to check on the boys and get them some food, but fortunately it's only a 15 min drive so I had time to grab a bite and get back. Tomor WW is coming over for a couple of hours in the afternoon so I don't have to spend my entire lunch hour driving back and forth. I'm relieved about that, plus it will give her some time with the kids. She normally has them Monday nights but starting a dart league tonight so won't be with them. Still hasn't given me an alternate schedule to replace the missing night. I told her I was open to discussion when she was ready and don't feel a need to keep reminding her. Until she says otherwise, I guess she's down to just 2 nights/week and I'll have them the rest. Fine by me. I really missed the kids today and was glad to come home. Been a long time since I had to be in an office every day.

Made it through the day pretty well, only thinking about WW a few times. It got worse towards the end of the day, and fortunately I was able to bring up the DB site on my cell and browse for a few minutes, which always helps me relax. Not sure why; guess it just gives me a little hope and peace of mind. So need to get the kids dinner, try to clean the house a little, then get ready for bed and start again tomorrow. It's gonna take a few days adjusting to this new schedule, but happy to have things to keep me busy.
