So..towards peace and happiness..

[Sotto]

Thanks for dropping in Guys - Twin, you made me laugh! RD, thanks for the reminder - it's buffet day tomorrow, so I'll stay off the punch. V, thanks for visiting - our timescales are pretty similar. I'm 21 months in from finding emails between H and OW, and almost 18 months from main BD. It's always helpful to compare notes.

I had a quieter weekend after my busy phase, and did start to feel a little low and sorry for myself. Once we move into the Xmas season, people are doing more with their own families. But, I think a couple of weeks of quieter time will be no bad thing for me as long as it is happy, quiet time. So that's what I'll be working on.

I was at the bookstore this morning, then had some mutual friends of H and mine visit for the afternoon. We had a good catch up. I hadn't seen them since the summer, and they haven't seen H for a couple of months. They didn't offer any news and I didn't ask - though we did talk a little about D, finances and house sale.

My friend did say she was staggered at how well I have been doing and how far I have come. I had a little doubt of - maybe she thinks I didn't love H enough and have 'got over' him too easily. But I just said to her I'm making the most of what life has to offer. I didn't choose to be here, but there is still a life to live & enjoy without H.

So, it was a nice visit and I was happy with my PMA. Our friend D a few years ago and her H is a distance away. He doesn't see that much of his S. She works full time and is very busy in the home too. She said she was pretty envious of my current footloose lifestyle - but we agreed it has upsides and downsides too....

Just noticed a text coming thru from H about the house. I'll leave that for a bit as I have a date with Santa and his sleigh tonight.

Have a good evening all xx
