I really feel his absence today. Its the first day of my vacation, and normally this would be when we spend quality time together, and now I'm alone.

I thought I would be doing better by 5 months. Last night I spent too much time dwelling on him and his girlfriend, I can't do that again. I get my dog today, which will help a lot, and I'm looking forward to having her for over a week. And I signed up for a volunteer orientation at an animal shelter. I still have to fill my time for today and Friday. I have potential dates to go in but I'm feeling really conflicted.

Should I go on a date? Or too soon? And I'm not sure if I should tell potential dates that I'm in the middle of a divorce.
