Today I feel a lot more positive - not sure why but partly its down to the reading I have been doing.

W goes away from Sat am to Mon PM with the kids to an old friends home about 200 miles away. Its a trip she does every 2 years or so. In the past I have gone but not every time. I will miss them but intend to keep myself busy with a few DIY jobs, 2 long bike rides with the cycling club (total 100 miles), catch up with some work emails and I might go out and get myself some new clothes! - shopping therapy! Im also trying to get out to watch a soccer game at a friends house.

I've decided to act happy - really happy. To get away from any negativity in the house, conscious or subconscious.

W responds to happy as she is a very positive person. I need to keep it up with every interaction with her.

At the same time it will be good for the kids, hopefully more laughter and fun in the house and it should help me to keep a more even mood - no more swinging from hopefulness to despair.

Next week the kids are off school, so Mon PM I will see them and then I have them all day Wednesday. We are going to a local castle for Halloween.

I also intend to practise some salsa via You Tube and go to my first absolute beginners lesson on Monday evening - If W asks where I am going I will tell her - let see what happens.

Onwards and Upwards
