LouR - Sorry that it took so long to respond. I've been busy with work and with my lady friend.

Thanks for noticing the changes in me. Yes, it has been very slow going, but I am MOVING which is good.

My lady friend - still just that...FRIENDS. But...I'm ok with that. I'm honestly in no hurry for anything. We get together every Wednesday night at her place for a drink or two and I leave afterwards. No hanky panky...just a hug when I leave. We've been to the zoo together twice and have had many dinners together. (Usually about once a week.) She told me that she likes our time together because I don't make her feel uncomfortable. I may be stuck in the "friend zone" but that's ok. We went to a Hawaiian Festival a few weeks ago and had a lot of fun. She actually just sent me a text telling me that she upgraded her zoo membership so I can get in free with her. Haha!

Me - I've found a passion I think...wildlife and wildlife photography. I love animals and get out to take pictures of them whenever I can whether it is at the park, zoo or aquarium. It is also nesting season for Bald Eagles and I have some webcams that I watch. I've always been a fan of them since I was a kid. (Maybe my "spirit animal." HAHA) Watching the cams and trying to see them in the wild keeps me busy too. I was lucky enough to actually photograph a pair of local Bald Eagles over a local park in November and December. I've been working a lot of over time too and it is starting to help me finally get my finances in order. I still owe the IRS gazillions, but I actually have money in my pocket unlike before. One year ago, I weighed 210 pounds. I currently weigh 154.

My EX - I can't remember the last time I spoke to her...maybe over two years ago. I really don't care to either. My son's band is performing on April 15th. I imagine I'll see her there, but I don't have the anxiety about it that I used to get.

Thanks for all the responses to my (sometimes pathetic) posts over the years. I've been on this board a very long time. So hard to believe that my first post was early 2011...Seems like a lifetime ago.

Anyways, just wanted to update.

P.S...Exquisitetobe and Job, I'm glad that you've been enjoying my FB posts.
