Checking in, for those who might be worried or concerned.

No, my car hasn't been recovered. It's a real pain in the a$$. D13 is staying with her grandparents for the week so that they can get her back and forth to school (they live closer to her school than I do).

I've had a few situations arise with my xH, but you know what? I don't even want to post about it right now. I might later, but I just don't have the energy. The bottom line is that he's a jerk and he'll never see his own responsibility in any of this. I'm the bad guy in his eyes and he's going to do anything and everything he can to make me feel that way. My job is to NOT let it happen. He can think what he wants and tell people what he wants, but that's not the truth.

I know the truth. I'm a good woman and I was a good wife to him.

He's harboring a lot of anger and resentment toward me. It's like he totally hates me right now. I don't understand it, but I'm just letting it be.

I don't want him back, actually. I've come to a point where I'm really quite happy he's not around. He's OW's problem now. I'm moving on.

I did go on my date on Friday. I had to walk to the restaurant in heels in the freezing cold, but hey... sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. The date was willing to pick me up, but since I hadn't met him yet I was not comfortable. The date went well and he was very sweet. Not much chemistry, but that's okay. I think we can be friends and that's better than nothing at all. I let him drive me home.

I've got a few other men interested in me and I'm sort of feeling overwhelmed at this point. I never thought it would be like this. There's one man in particular who I really enjoy talking and spending time with. In fact, I think about him so much these days that I find that I hardly think about my xH at all. It's quite wonderful!

But don't worry, I'm not rushing into anything at all. I'm quite up front with the men I'm talking to that I'm not ready for anything serious (and that includes sex). I'm just enjoying the flirtation, the fun, the hanging out, and it's good for my soul.

So, that's about it for now. With the exception of finances, I'm doing all right. If a bucket of money could just fall from the sky, that'd be great.

Thanks for checking in on me, friends. I appreciate it.
