I actually liked being around my friends family. It was warm and friendly. I realize that I miss that, for many years. I had 'built' a 'family' like that with friends and their families. I think that was what attracted STBX to me.

I was healthy.

Being healthy makes you attractive to a lot of people beside your XW.

How is your day going today Frank?

I've been stuck doing "C" code for the last year for embedded dsp faxing, and of course, crappy Windows OS. Someday I may get back to the joy of C# programming.

My AA sponsor said to go get the lyrics from The Eagles song "Get Over it". So here they are....

I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it

Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it

D14 took our beagle to stay overnight at her moms condo. Dropping them off, OM's truck was there. I need to get used to it and stop the drama of 'poor me'.

I just realized that I haven't actually 'seen' STBX in about 3 weeks or so. She hasn't come to the door during her rare pickups of D14. And we don't talk on the phone very often. I guess this is what 'moving on' looks like.

Pretty strange.

You will get used to it with time. Heck, whenever my X stops by my work or home, I can smell her before I see her. Lately I think she has become a test subject for womens perfume. I worry about the kids olfactory system when they drive with her.

It's a skunk thing, Kerry.

How would you characterize that kind of behavior? Another MLC trait?

It may be some sort of MLC or maybe that is the person she always wanted to be - high class look. I do know that I am not attracted one bit to the constant painting of toenails, fancy shoes and intense perfume. I'm looking for more of the Joni Mitchell type outdoorsy girl (minus the hair on the legs/underarms and with conservative leaning views).
