Journaling:

My week went well. I have to say that I am rather happy about work. I received my review Wednesday and my boss said a milion great things about me. Really stroked my ego, It is wonderful to be appreciated. I was so psyched about it when Xh called that evening he noticed my great mood radiating throught the phone. When I told him how my day was he sounded just as proud of me as my boss did. Xh gave me wonderful compliments and he told me how wonderful he thought I was, and he told me how much he appreciates me. WOW these are things I tell him and now he is telling me how much he appreciates me. What a wonderful feeling!

The following things are the things I have stopped doing while I have been going gray...
I quit calling him in the morning, I do not answer ever one of his phone calls (every other one is more like it), I quit talking about the house we were planning on buying together, and I have continued to stay as far away from his sitch with XOw andthe sell of "their" house. I have also not brought up the convo about moving to his side of town when my lease is up in august.

Thursday night Xh calls in a rage. Jesus christ this man was livid. XOw after 2+ months of not living in "their" house decides she is going to move back into the house (her arguement is that it is her house too!) (Very true but who cares! okay that was ugly, sorry) She tells him that he needs to move into the spare bedroom "TONIGHT" and basicially that she is running things around there again. I have to say I am proud of him for standing his ground as telling her that she can not just come in there after being gone for over two months and tell him what he is going to do and so on. She also brings in this stray cat Xh did not like this one bit, he was not a happy camper about this cat. I listened and validated his complaints but the truth be known I would have done the same thing with the cat. (I love animals and I have a soft heart expecially for strays)

Friday Xh went out with his single buddy, he called me before he left and gave me the info about his plans for the night. Today I woke up early went to the pool and layed out for a while came back home and took a nap. Xh called and woke me up from my nap (what a great way to wake up ) When he talked yesterday he asked me if I had plans for saturday and that he wanted to come to my side of town and take me to lunch, spend the day with me. We he arrived at my apartment I was in my room finishing up getting ready. I swear he looked at me like it was the first time he had ever seen me and that he was mesmerized at how beautiful I was. He kissed me and it made me weak in the knees, he hugged me so strongly, he was the man I fell in love with all over again. The alien is teasing me, giving me bits and pieces of my love. We had a wonderful lunch and then went to the sporting goods store to look at fishing poles. He had plans to go deep sea fishing with the boys that night. I live very close to the ocean and I am glad he spent the afternoon with me knowing he was spending the evening with the boys.

Things seem to be looking up, I am going to continue to be gray, atleast for a while. It seems to be working thus far.


Halo Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
