I'm working on the whole GAL-thing, too. For you, is there anything that you've always meant to do but never gotten around to? Like taking classes--dance, photo, stained glass, orchids etc. Now would be a good time to do those things. You also mentioned communion. What about a women's group through the church? Both of these would be little things that would get you out of the house one night a week, and one night is a start. As an added bonus, you may be able to get out and meet new people. As for money-making ventures, I don't have a 'real' job yet for the summer break, so in the meantime, I clean a medical office 2 nights a week. It's only about a hundred dollars a week, but hey, it's a hundred more than I would have otherwise. You can always check out the classifieds in your area for part-time jobs like mine. Those are all the suggestions I have at the moment. Hope they may be of some help. And by the way, I have found your thread extremely useful, especially as of late. I know you've been following mine off and on, and now we are in a very similar place. I am seeing my H more and more often, but I don't think the OW is entirely out of the picture. Thanks for posting all of the helpful hints and reminders everyone who has contributed. Hope you have a good rest of the day! TSO
