I have been feeling the same way lately as a few of the more recent posts. Things would definitely have to change for my w and I to begin to R. It is mind boggling to see how we go from begging and doing absolutely anything to get our WAS back to not knowing if we want them back to not wanting them back, etc. All aboard the personal and relationship coaster.
Reasonably calm evening tonight. Not really anything signifcant to report, and that's just fine with me. There was no direct contact with my W all day today. The indirect contact was this morning.
I had my S tonight. My Mom came down and we went out to dinner. We had a nice dinner together. My S wanted to play Wii for a bit before bed. I also replaced the Christmas lights the dog chewed up on the tree.
Today I worked from home, so that meant I was able to take lunch from Chipotle to my S at school.
My S wasn't in the best mood after school tonight. He was claiming it was a really bad week. He's feeling like the other kids are picking on him, just overall negative. I need to get the positive mojo going again.
My W called and we actually talked about it for a bit. We're considering setting up some C for him again. At least she didn't think he needed to change schools.
My W stopped by to pick up my S tonight. It was a decent enough interaction. She's a blonde and she had some red highlights put in. I just blurted out my honest opinion and said it was interesting. But then I had to qualify it by saying interesting in a positive way.
My GAL'ing tonight was going out to dinner with a friend. His W had asked for a D back in May. I think he DB'd his W without knowing it. He's fortunate to be what we would all call piecing now.
After I got home and being the crazy man I am, I went out for a 17 mi. ride in the dark. It was about 12:45 when I got home. I just knew the temperature was dropping. It was 63 degrees earlier today and it was 39 when I went out for a ride.
JB....you are a stud my friend. It is safe to say that your W is a fool if she continues down her current path. You are doing great.

Friday was technically my last day of the year for me at work. I have that nice problem to have of using my vacation or losing it.
My S was all excited when I got home from work. I had ordered a backpack online to replace the one that fell apart this week.
My W and I had a more interesting interaction than usual Friday night when she came to pick up my S. It interfered with this feeling of ambivalence I've been experiencing lately. My W had bought a curtain rod and some new curtains for my dining room before she had moved out. I broke down and asked her what her intent was on the curtain rod and curtains. I just happen to like them and I'm eager to get the dining room set up now that there's less opportunities to be outdoors. She proceeded to show me exactly what she had in mind and even intimated she was willing to stick around to help me get them hung up. I was the one to pull back this time. I just told her I wasn't going to work on it that night. I had intended to finish up my work for the year, but I didn't really do anything too productive or exciting on Friday night.
Pretty busy Saturday. I decided to get up early and run a 5K in a hilly part of Cincy, just outside of downtown. I was my 6th 5K of the year. It was an interesting one. There were multiple views of downtown and some challenging hills. I had a great time. I took my time coming back, driving around some interesting neighborhoods of Cincy. I worked a few hours when I got home, and I think I'm FINALLY done for the year. I had a Christmas party to go to last night night. It was a pretty large party hosted by a guy from my church. I had a great time. There were various people from my church there I've in my assortment of activities at church.
Great service at church this morning. Got to talk to a lot of other people as has been the rule rather than the exception. I didn't even have to sit by myself this morning. One of the ladies from my Tuesday night group sat with me. Just a good friend, another LBS. She's been M'd 34 years and she's currently separated.
JB every time I read all the stuff you have done I get mad at myself. It kind of pushes me to want to do things. when I sit down to play video games like I just did I wonder what you are doing and should I be doing more. Don't get me wrong I like video games but I should do more physical stuff. But I hate the cold. So today I will work out the fingers instead

“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”
That made me laugh, DG. You are one of the funniest people I know. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't exercise at all today.
It's a way of life for me. My situation, however, has caused me to crank it up.
