Bridges that cross the Universe!

As much as I still love my H and miss him....I'm doing alright. I'm getting excited about moving along in life.

I'm looking forward to buying a new bed!!!! A platform bed so my sweet old doggie can jump up easier.

I can't wait to buy a couple of kick-a** cat trees, the ones with multiple levels, tunnels and hammocks for my kitties.

I'm looking forward to trying Hot Yoga and going swimming at the rec centre.

I am so excited about signing up for my first 2 college courses in January.
Back story here is....when I was 22 I applied for college. I paid for my first semester tuition and arranged for daycare for my two kids. They were 2 and 3 at that time. The year before my grandmother had a stroke and was hospitalized. Mere weeks before I was to start college, the doctors finally gave us permission to take her home. My mom worked full time and so did my dad. My brothers were off to University. I was asked if I would take care of her. She was paralyzed, no speech, swallowing problems. Basically like having another baby. I got a refund on my tuition and took care of my grandmother. Never will I regret doing that. She lived for 2 more years. The visiting nurses taught me how to do most of my grandmothers nursing care. It was the toughest and most rewarding job (besides raising my kids) I have ever done. Now here I am over 20 years later. I get to realize one of my dreams. I know my grandmother would be proud of me.

So many new and exciting possibilities ahead of me. It is really too bad my H is not here to share them with. I've made some decisions about how to proceed with him as well. I really wanted some clear direction from him if he wanted to work on our marriage or not, before the 1 year separation is up April 1st 2016, but now I really don't see the need to rush. I've committed to living separately for at least another year by signing a 1 year lease agreement. I'm doing what is in my best interest, not what brings me closer to him.
I have asked him about doing a Retrouvaille weekend in the town he lives in next year in March and I think he would be willing. I think it would be good for both of us to learn how to communicate better, regardless if we get back together or not.

Alright....I think this post is long enough now.

Happy Halloween!

My sons girlfriends little guy went trick or treating from my house tonight, dressed as Superman. When he came back he shared some of his candy with me.
