Sorry for going dark for a bit - I got slammed with work and couldn't look at the boards. Not a bad thing, just a little overwhelmed for the next week or so. I forgot what is was like to be busy doing a job I love. Not a bad thing at all and I'm really excited to rediscover this. On the bright side, it helps to detach when I end up taking work home and don't have time to do anything else, lol.
Adding to my workload are my attempts to get a more permanent job. Just landed an in person interview for next week and was approached to submit my resume for a 2nd job. With job 1 I get to work from home, which greatly simplifies just about everything in my life. Not only that, but I could live anywhere in the US and still have a job. So if I get a divorce, I can guarantee I'll keep seeing my kids. This was a huge worry for me. Job #2 is across the country but should pay very well. I can't go into a lot of details, but I'm not as excited by the kind of work I'd be doing in job #2, but am excited that someone is interested in hiring me. Although it was fun to ask my wife if she'd be interested in moving with me and the kids... I might not be detached, but I can fake it at times.
Add to that a meeting next week in Washington DC and my head is spinning a bit, but in a really, really good way.
As for the text, yeah I snooped. Because I was looking for verification that she was at the OM house. Because I'm not sure I can trust my wife's intentions when she says she wants to work on things. In retrospect, I think I was paranoid and that she may have actually been working late. But it shouldn't matter where she was or what she was doing - I am still too attached.
I'll post more if/when I can, but I thought I should give a brief update.
