Ahem ~ this is an apology free thread. We don't apologise for rambling nor hijacking. This includes the Royal We ~ Princess Bossy Boots (can you tell I am the oldest child?)
Stir fry pumpkin...care to share the entire recipe? I bought myself a nice wok for Christmas and have been enjoying stir fry dinners, too.
Hope ~ not a recipe as such just something I do that is quick and easy. Just fry a heaped teaspoon (or more if you are like me and lurve it) of cumin and then toss in slivers of pumpkin. I like to cook it until crunchy with some brown sweeter bits. Usually I serve as a hottish salad over a bed of baby spinach or rocket (I think you guys call it aragula) and slivers of parmesan and lots of black pepper, and some salt. Enjoy
Didn't know your H had been gone for 8 months. You seem to be in a pretty good place. Does the length of time have something to do with that or is it more your state of mind? Just curious. Was this a gradual tranformation for you or were there significant events that contributed to where you are right now. You have not done anything legal, right?
SF ~ I did the biggest 180 of all time. I came here as a sad pitiful thing adamant that I wanted my man back. Instead of saving my m, I found me, the one who had gone awol years back. For a few months, I did weekly counselling sessions with a colleague of a friend who saw the mess I was in.
I have discovered a lot of things about myself, why I married wah, why things were as they were... I don't think I want wah back at all, and he is barely talking to me, and unlikely to come out of the fog anytime soon.
I do need to exercise hard daily or my PMA plummets. I am also on ads, but hope to be off those shortly. Still have the occaisonal spiralling down of the thoughts though.
Nothing legal as yet. Only 1 talk with wah about anything remotely r like, which was shortly post bomb, where he said stay in the house as long as you like. I pay the mortgage and all my bills ~ everything. He does pay child support (and quite a bit more than legally obligated to). I am very lucky in that my B is a family lawyer. He is very good ( I couldn't afford him ) and divorced himself. So hopefully if things ever got nasty he would come into bat for his sister. Mum has also offered to help me buy wah out.
I am happy to stay in financial limbo for now simply as it is more affordable. Mind you if the $$ tree surprised me with a bountiful crop, I would love to settle things, just so I could wack a big "Under New Management" sign on my front gate
Great day yesterday ~ sushi lunch with friend. I tried fried lotus root which is very nice. Came home as full as a fat lady's bra. Then bad, bad friend dropped in 2 gluten free muffins which I had for breakfast this morning.
Busy weekend planned. Some birthday celebration tonight. May be a bbq at my house depending on weather/#s. Then I have a skip to fill with palm leaves etc, so big weekend in the jungle that is my garden.
