NYGal: What now?

[1313]

NYGal,
Ugh.

You're right, this stinks - I wish we hadn't smelled something a couple of days ago. I would love nothing more than to day congratulations.

You've got more of a yo-yo thing going on than a roller coaster. All I can say is hang in there - you're doing amazing considering what she's pulling. And she's pulling your string, and you're going up and down, up and down. Should we start calling you Duncan?

What you've got to do for the next few days look not at her, not at your R, but your b-day. Tunnel vision, ok? Look down that tunnel to the future - and the wonderful time you're going to have without the W. It's going to be better because it's you. If the W tries reaching out before you go - ignore it. Oh, you can look at her hand (yup, that's your hand alright!), you can acknowledge she's reaching out (looky there!) - but GO (buh-bye!).

Enjoy the time with your friend, and make it a very, very special vacay. A time you could never have with your W right now. She wouldn't let you. Let her marinade in her juices for a few days - in dead silence. Shhhhh... Hear that? No, she can't hear you having a great time - but you can!

It's going to be a gorgeous few days in CA from top to bottom, so you have a great f-ing time, ok? I know you can do it - and we're all pulling for you.
