Very true. I thought I had mastered that, but obviously I'm still a padawan. Also:

I'll bet you're right. It would likely stick in her head more. You scare me with your comparisons to your 1st ex, Wes. But thanks for doing so. Kev wrote:

You're right, I'm not as motivated to DBing as I once was. Yet positives in the R are s/t to work toward, and I need to keep my focus on that. The personal growth stuff is a good viewpoint as well. BTW, I'm not pulling out of DBing XW with false hopes re dating. Not at all. Just fatigued about her. Maybe getting back into the house will help.
Part of this slipup was related to me being off this morning - related to my sleep issue. I'm still getting ~ 5hrs/night, and my bods screamin for at least 7. I bought some melatonin to help with deeper sleep, but I've just got to arrange more time for sleep. I'm not full-blown grumpy, just not as spunky as I can be when rested.
Covering for sick colleague today, so I'm teaching extra classes on new topics. One might help: Stress Management!
