Postponed Minneapolis decision for two weeks! Actually, I have decided against that position for a) distance is farther from family (and ex!) b) this job is more programming than engineering and c) doesn't look like any opportunity to move up in that organization. They are still very interested so I said I would meet w/them in two weeks.
That will give me time to work on the other possibilities between now and then and build my confidence level as they seem so eager to get me in for an interview!
Second GAL effort: I'm cutting the strings from ex! I sent him out an email today detailing everything that I want packed up in the truck before it comes up here on Saturday. This includes my heirlooms left behind and the grad pics of my dd's. This should clear out anything from his house that will remind him of me. (bittersweet; but I feel this is a necessary step at this point)
One more small effort in the email: I asked if he would give me my motorcycle helmet. Since he has already sold his bike, there shouldn't be any problem in me having that. (and I sure wouldn't want someone else using it!) But I also dropped the hint that I may need it. This actually may be a big GAL to him, since I always said I was so afraid of riding those deathtraps. But someday I still want to take lessons and learn to get past this fear of them and since he never wanted to teach me; I will learn on my own!
Or find someone else to teach me! There are plenty of guys around here w/bikes! T
