Noteworthy GAL updates since separation end of June:
- I've been surfing about once a week. It's like meditation on steroids. I am going to invest in a thicker wetsuit so I can continue as the water cools off.
- During the pre-BD day anxieties I lost about 10lbs. I am naturally skinny, so at that point I was gaunt. I started hitting the gym about 2 months ago, and I've put back on the 10 plus another 5. I'm lifting heavier weights than I did after college. It feels great.
- I have almost finished a kitchen table for my rental house - just need to finish the finish. I built the table-top from scratch, sanded it, stained it, and added some hairpin legs. It will be the perfect size for me and the kids, and also a nice desk when I am home alone.
I still find myself with a lot of free time to fill. I'm checking out a men's group that meets Thursday nights (not sure if I will stick around), and starting a parenting class for 2 months in a couple weeks. A co-worker invited me to bar trivia nights, but it conflicts with the class. Maybe once the class is over I will join.
