Yesterday, I met with a divorce attorney for a consultation just so I can understand the process (I feel stupid for being so naive... Just never thought I would find myself here). I liked him and he put my mind at ease a little bit. After that, I ended up having a drink with a guy. Gulp. He asked me out the day prior and we decided to grab a beer. Totally casual. When he asked, I had to do a gut check and I felt ok with saying yes. Part of me cringes sharing that because I never thought that I would do that... But, the rules aren't cut and dry right now. Any rule I'm following is self imposed based on my values.
Anyway, we went to a brewery and ended up talking for over three hours. It was fun to converse and laugh and just get to know someone new. He was quite a gentleman- walked me to my car, and then followed up to make sure I got home ok. All in all, it was a nice experience. Even though it wasn't a "formal date", it's the first- first date I've had in 11 years! Surreal!
Also, I ended up waking up in the middle of a night with a 103 degree fever! Karma?!?!
Lastly, tomorrow Im going to meet with h to talk about the d. I'm nervous and sick over it, but I will do my best to be strong and have a good pma. Hopefully, I feel better too!
