Walkaway Wife/WW/MLC Part 2

[jjal]

Actually, I'm not doing terribly bad. I have my moments of being down, but have been leaning hard on 2 close friends. One was happy to do it because he needed to, as he said, get his fat butt off the couch. Actually he and I are in great shape, we just haven't been cycling in a few years. Anyway, he and I have been walking on a local 5 mile greenway twice a week, and then riding our bikes on it another time a week. Then, we are going to a local brewpub on Tuesday nights for dinner/drinks. The other friend is available mostly on weekends, he and I have been on a few hikes, and he's cooked out several times along the way. Plus, now that football season has started he and his wife love the company.

Both were in marriages in which their wives cheated and have given me fantastic advice. One put his WW's clothes on their front porch that night, hocked his wedding ring the next day. The other, weathered her MLC storm, finally reaching the end of his rope after 5-6 months of it. She snapped out of it when he dropped divorce papers on her desk. She has interesting stories to tell about it. All 3 are great.

I've started doing things I liked to do before all this happened too, it's slow going, but GAL for sure. Even starting reading and writing again. Another goal was to slip a yoga class in here and there, but have been so busy I've not been able to work it in.

The sleep is puzzling, taking herbal supplements at times, and Sominex when I need a bigger hit. When my mind is somewhat clear, I wake up, heart racing, legs hot/cold. Then begins the restless tossing and turning.

W is still training for her big race, Iron Man -- 15-20 hours a week of training. Working lots of hours at work too. I've stopped looking at her social media pages so I am not sure what else she is up to.
