Well, I've crawled out of bed and I'm in a bit of a catch 22 as my body says I'm hungry but I know eating will make me ill, so I am trying a cup of tea.
I can't believe I am still in my PJ's at nearly 6 o clock in the evening, how slack!
'Gambling with germs for the woman he loves' - I really like that, thanks Gabriel. Things are definitely getting better with our R though, as one of my aims for the R was getting him to say ILY and agree to dates outside the house which he has done.
Now my other aims for the R are:
Have him tell everyone else we are together. Keeping up the 'divorced' act is quite stressful sometimes. I am halfway there with this one as he knows 2 of my friends know and he doesn't mind and still wants to socialise with them, so that's a good sign.
Get him to stay overnight with the kids (I'd like it if he would on my birthday and am going to ask but won't get my hopes up).
Eventually get a house together (I imagine this will be a long way in the future, but I would like it within the next year or two if that is realistic).
MY OTHER GOALS FOR ME:
Practise my Greek more, I have got rusty since my dad died.
Enroll on a course in my local town and meet some more new people.
Pay off some of my debt - get rid of one credit card by xmas this year.
Save up for schooling fees so I can do that pharmacology diploma I want to do.
Book a trip to the sea for the summer holiday.
Increase my business turnover.
Finish writing my book in the next 2-3 months and email publisher.
Of course, I haven't done any of them yet but I will!
You mentioned your W's depression issues and her mother. What are these? I might be able to help as I was so bad with depression once I was in a hospital.
I might be able to help as someone who has 'been there', but I guess it's difficult for you to help her if she's very arm's length with you.
