Hi Everyone,

KitCat, thanks for checking in.

I really hope to find time to sit down these next few days and respond to everyone's threads. I got back-up with deadlines and events with my daughter recently and each day has to be perfectly regimented to get everything done but I hope to stay on top of everything better.

There's not really any news regarding the situation with my husband. Since he didn't get the job in our city he's still in his state searching for jobs. Tomorrow he's supposed to stop by and visit our daughter while he's here visiting his family.

Yesterday I met the guy I've been working with who is based in the UK. We had a team meeting at the office and a dinner in the evening. I felt like I must have misunderstood something after I didn't hear from him for over a week and he didn't confirm that I'd meet him at the airport. When I met him yesterday morning he stood really close, like his face touching mine, and spoke into my ear that he was sorry he didn't e-mail me. I was late arriving at the dinner last night and when I reached he was sitting at the end with one empty chair next to him. There was another chair empty across from him next to my female colleague, also from Europe, who I never met before yesterday either. I felt it was more appropriate to sit next to her. He asked a lot of questions and we talked for a long time but he had to leave early due to jet lag and a work deadline. Towards the end he got up and left for a minute, then came behind my chair and put his arm around me and touched his face against my face and spoke again into my ear that he'll e-mail me and we'll meet on Thursday. He said some other stuff that I couldn't really comprehend. I observed that he didn't get close to my female colleague or the guys who were with us. But my two female colleagues who know him in the UK keep saying he's so great, such a gem, etc.. so maybe he uses this technique on most attractive women or is he interested in me? He didn't invite me to meet one-on-one while he's in town but we're meeting again tomorrow at a coffee shop with my boss and his colleague. I wish I had more wisdom to understand men but either he's really friendly, a ladies man, or he's semi-interested but not enough to meet alone. I'm not sure what others may have told him about my situation but he didn't ask.

Anyway, that's about it. I was happy that for a brief time yesterday, the first time since I had my daughter, I went out at night and celebrated with colleagues and met this guy who I've wanted to meet for the past few months.
