Thanks for all the good wishes, my friends. I had a wonderful day, a relaxing and fun, gossipy lunch with people I enjoy being with. Work was less manic for a change, and we closed a couple of projects that had been dragging on for a few months, so that was fantastic too. By the time I got home at 7, I was in no shape to look for any more excitement, and NG had brought home a take away which we tucked into in peace. He took to humming Happy Birthday several times, lots of hugs, and kisses. Not bad at all
Mellanie - A fellow Libran! I will swing by and catch up with you, it has been a while
Wllowwlk - Thank you for the wonderful words of affirmation
HFO - We got you out of retirement - its good to know you are still around
Sheila - There are many parts of your journey that remind me of my earlier days. Hang in there, fellow traveller. And yes, we do need to continue to learn from each other.
Jennifer - I think of you often, with the mountain of editing, as I was drowning under work too. The expectation thing is sooo difficult to kick, I often feel that there is a minimum required in a relationship, and it seems NG rebels most against the 'expectation of minimum requirement'
LnL - Thanks for the colour - I do follow your tale, but have not chimed in for lack of anything constructive to add. I feel for you, and will stop by to see how things are going with your D now.
We are planning a quite Sunday here, it promises to be unseasonally warm, which may be our cue for a long ramble through the woods nearby.
Slowly
