Stages of grief

[Painter]

Phoebe, thanks for checking in! Yes, start your new thread so we can hear what you're up to and I can post.

AnnaB, thank you. This is just what I needed to hear right now.

It's been a frustrating and sad and exhausted week, but today was great! Having my things shipped was hard. They'll get here in a little over a week. I've been struggling this week with a class that I didn't feel I did very well in at all - to where I was thinking about dropping out because I felt my confidence level was already so low I didn't need this.

Today, I forced myself to go and had great success. I am so happy I pushed through.

In addition, a very attractive man 10+ years my junior told me while holding my hand in both of his that my husband was FOOL - he said it twice, emphatically.
Then he said I would bounce back and get down on my feet, he could tell I already was.
It didn't hurt to hear that. Feeling sort of invincible.

Then a new friend textured and wanted to get together for dinner, so we meet up and chatted for a couple of hours. I came home and another friend called. Seems like it's first or famine! Ready for bed... last day of class tomorrow.
