Chris texted me yesterday and asked if I wanted to see him on Christmas. His kids will be gone, my kids will be gone.

I sent him a text saying I would love to come over, but I am only looking for friendship and I want nothing more, and if he is not Okay with that then I should not come over.

He texted me that he completely agrees. I am so glad because sitting here alone all day on Thanksgiving was terrible. That was probably why I lashed out at my H the day after.

Chris works for the gov't like I do, so I was able to look him up. He has all of his clearances and his FBI record is clean

I am very excited.

H made no contact since Thursday when he tried to get me sign my D. He couldn't care less what my plans are for Christmas. I am assuming he will go to my sister's again, but I don't really care where he goes.

I did not get all of my school work done yesterday as I wanted, but I got a lot done. I wrote 25 pages of my report and I had to stop. I just have to finish it today, I just have to! I am submitting my second book to the publisher today and I will be done with them until after the holidays. Christmas shopping is 80% done and wrapped. I cant do the last until I get my last paycheck before christmas.

So I am feeling mostly okay right now. I wish I would not have put off my school work so badly because there is no reason for this additional stress right now. But I can fix it by finishing it before Friday.

I get my annual evaluation at work today, in an hour. My boss will let me know how I do my job. I belong to a union so I don't get a raise with my eval. My pay is under contract for the next few years i think. But it is still a nice piece of stress before christmas. I am glad my boss is not a talker, it will last less than 30 minutes and I can get back to my life.

I have a low meeting day so I should have time to visit everyone's threads!
