Hi all, thanks for your lovely comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to post, and Bright, yes SS is his only son. Though we all expect he produce more offspring sometime soon if his plans all unfold as he hopes.
These days, I truly feel very little for him. I still think if I saw him I would be rattled, but otherwise I do think I have released quite a lot of stuff and the door is very much closed, which is freeing. I'm so grateful that I can maintain a relationship with SS too. SS and I are currently making plans to get together next month, with our mutual friend, which should be fun!
I re-met a nice man recently! Someone I had briefly met at an event a year or so ago and thought was very nice. Well I re-met him and he is still very nice. Plus he is single just now and seems as though he might be interested in me. At this event, he joined my table and we had a drink together and a big chat about your life, my life, former relationships and so on. So, we'll see if anything develops there. We swapped contact details. He certainly seems like a decent, bright and attractive guy with some joie de vivre. I'll keep you posted
Work continues to be relentless and my ongoing project takes up all of my working time just now. I was flailing around before Xmas and realised I just wasn't making progress and wasn't being firm enough with those around me either. I suffer from 'nice' syndrome and always like to help even if it impacts on my own stuff. I have got much more specific with people now about what I can do for them, by when and what impact it will have on project stuff. I also put a big rocket up the supplier we're working with as they were getting complacent. I think everyone may be a just a little bit scared of me now!!
I'm coming up from the dip I had over Xmas and Mum seems brighter now. She is so frail and it is just a matter of time I know. But it is good to see her looking more comfortable, and she's engaging more now too. Dad had to cancel a holiday earlier in the month, so I'm doing a weekend sit for him soon. I'm hoping I won't get cabin fever, but it is the least I can do really, and how he does this day in day out I don't know. They would reach their diamond anniversary during 2018, so I'm really hoping Mum may still be with us then.
Otherwise, I'm picking up again on activities that languished a little over Xmas. It is good to be dancing and singing again and planning a few things with friends. A little group of friends are planning a week in the sun later this year too, so we're looking at options for that.
Anyway my friends, just wanted to offer a little update and say Hello & once again thanks for reading along and kindly posting.
