Well this evening turned out fun, for lots of different reasons.
I had a good afternoon at work. And then got dolled up for our evening out, so I felt quite good about myself, even if a little shy. The first part of my evening I unexpectedly met two people who knew my H and I, and had worked with us.
One was really surprised to hear our news, but was bowled over by how well I looked, and thought it was now my time to shine. She said she thought I needed someone really strong who was able to give me the support I needed.
The other one of them is working with my H at the moment. She knew we had split up, so she was asking how I was. I was in all honesty able to tell her what I'd been up to (GAL), how well I was doing, and how surprised I was to be getting chatted up so much.
I think I met them both at the right time. If I had met them a month ago, I wouldn't have felt quite so good, so it wouldn't have all been quite so convincing and truthful.
Anyway, I'm sure some of that will get back to him in some form or another.
I went to my other night out, and had an hour with everyone there. They were all very happy to see me, and all thought I looked very well. Nobody there knows about my H (some of them were talking about what a dude he is, so it was a bit weird. I hope I kept it under control though and didn't give anything away).
I walked the couple of miles home at the end of the evening. It gave me a chance to think the evening over. There's nothing I said or did that makes my toes curl. I was a bit subdued and shy, if anything.
So tomorrow afternoon, I have a GAL coffee planned.
