Greetings all

End of my weekend and just sitting here with a lovely glass of merlot

I can relate to the feelings about WAH. My XH called me 4 times today about this or that. I really was annoyed, I didn't want to talk to him at all! I kept it cheerful, but cut it short, so I don't understand it either, but I guess we are getting through it, one way or another! Have a great day!

Gee VJ, 4 times in 1 day, I would certainly be annoyed. I'm sure you have better things to do ~ like talk to us.

Kismet you are doing so great. Your husband must really wonder sometimes what he's missing. I reckon half of his problem over the past few months has been how independent and "over him" you seem. That can't be an easy thing for a midlife-crisis-on-legs to deal with

Thanks WB, I don't know if he misses me though, I think he is still lost in the fog. I do know he misses S14 though as starting to reach out to him big time through text messages/phonecalls. Just can't follow through by actually seeing him

hope you are having a great weekend and the weather is fine there also
hugs

Ruth it is so hot here. The other night I went for a jog and nearly died and then 1 1/2 hours later on the news it was still 29 degrees and 66% humidity. No wonder my mascara ran I think I will have to get one of those Olivia Newtown John "Let's Get Physical" headbands Hope you enjoyed the BBQ.



I also know what you mean about the kindness of strangers. I think it is the way we are moving through life. Something different radiates from us. We have somewhat come out of our own fog, so to speak. People notice.


SF ~ so true. I was fogged in for years. But even today dropped in at the supermarket to pick up a few things and lady my age starts yabbering away to me. For a minute I thought I must know her, but no, she was just friendly. Maybe it's because I smile more now?

So what's up with Kismet today?

Greetings Al, same old, same old.

Maybe it's because our blinders are off...they are no longer on a pedestal to us. We see them as who they truly are. Human instead of Godlike creatures. Faults where we once saw only perfection. Sadness where we once saw happiness

Sassy I think this is true. I know I came out of the fog. Early post bomb, I actually mentioned to my mum, that I felt like the fog had literally lifted. My counsellor agreed that after what I had been through with the bomb being the cherry on the cake, very likely that I had been depressed. I also think we are seeing shells of the men we knew. I look at mine, and his eyes are empty.

Hello...hello... just checking in and see how you are doing. And you are doing fine...so keep it up. Those feelings have to crop up and dealt with somehow or other. So, the earlier you have faced it, the better...

Greetings twin DB Goddess. Thanks, yep, can't keep squashing those feelings down, which is what I used to do

Hi, kismet...sorry to hijack! Ahem Hope, this is an apology free thread. Hijack away to your heart's content.

Well all is well in my world. S14 had a buddy sleep over. I let him use my ticket to the basketball and they enjoyed it so much his friend wants to buy a season ticket. Plus his friend informed me that S14 will be joining them and playing fusball later in the year. So happy that S14 is back in full force being a normal teen.

So quiet night for me Sat. Made a lovely risotto with red wine and saffron, and just enjoyed the solitude.

Today had a long lunch with 3 friends. 3 hours of catch up and a Chicken Coconut Curry "Operation Minimise Muffin Top" starts tomorrow Also back at college tomorrow. 3 full days so that will keep me out of trouble.

On a funny note, bought my Secret Valentine a card and had left it on the bureau where I usually put wah's mail. On Friday he was here and did check to see if any mail, so would have seen it, so wonder what went through his mind. I had a little chuckle to my self when I realised what had happened.

Now my PMA moment this week, S14's friend's mother saying how well I looked, when I was slumming around the house in yoga pants, singlet, no makeup and unbrushed hair. Real 180 for me as I never let anyone see me without makeup pre bomb.





Smile, it makes people wonder what you are up to!
