Jo and Gabriel,

Thanks for the propping. Yeah, she told me about the bar guys. One was practically mugging her and had to be forced away by one of the band guys. The other started out talking about how they could live happily ever after. That's immediately after being introduced. There are definitely some needy guys (and girls) out there.

I'd assume that area is covered and move on to the focuses that have some work to complete.

What are those?



My focuses relationship wise are to continue the gains I've made in my relationship with step-kids and conversing with my W. I looked for the LL book, but no such luck. I need something that just helps with men/women conversation. Is M/V a good choice? Something else?

Personally I have got to work on that crazy book. I'm not even sure what it's about it's been so long. Build friendships outside the M. Most of my personal goals haven't gotten much off the ground floor. My PMA is good, but that's about it.

No real updates. I made it through all of yesterday without contacting. She called this morning to tell me she didn't know if she could take me to airport since she's dropping off her kids with their dad. It was pretty sweet that she called to tell me and also to say she'd try to take me even if she had to drop off kids.

Here's one small sidenote. My ex sister-in-law who everyone in my family thought of as a sister sent me a note. The front was a quote from Winston Churchhill so should appeal to Jo: "If you're going through hell, keep going..." Pretty prophetic hunh? The inside read "I'm so sorry to hear about you and Deb-it stinks. Just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers." The fact that she thought to send this note made me break down. I'm not always quite as strong as I hope.

p.S. Jo, it's okay to say Wez. I can hear your British accent that way.
