Hi Ellie - I'm convinced the notion of loving detachment still eludes me, but I do hope I'm getting closer. Take for example the latest saga. NG decides to take off on a business trip next week, expecting me to take care of his friends who are guests. This is the kind of doormat I have let him make me. This time, I've just taken a couple of assignments that would take me out of town too. No tantrums. Just, honey, gee, I'm busy next week. Figure it out with your buddies. Because they unfortunately are the kind to have a long list of complaints, and I'm just not in this game anymore. NG is sulking at my work trip, but I'm not borrowing this emotion. GAL, that's my motto for 2005
Otherwise, we are hunky dory, mainly because I am choosing to look the other way when he has his moods, which are about 3-4 times a week. Maya, I will check out SAM-e too - still not shifted my butt to go get the supplements.
Off to a wedding on New Year's eve, we'll be heralding in 2005 with friends celebrating marriage - should be interesting.
Feeling a little sad about the sheer number of lives lost in the tsunami in Asia.
