There was a calm group outside around a fire pit, and the wild ones were inside with tequila and karaoke. It was great! It got a little out of hand at one point...nothing surprising though. I was accosted by all of the females at the party (cousins and their friends) who gave me their drunken rant about how crazy WAW is. "Trust us, you will be FINE out there without her." I was not drunk at all, so, I just laughed and smiled. It was pretty entertaining, and even though I didn't get the best advice from them, it felt good to know how much they care. I mean I see them fairly often, but it's not like we're super tight. I don't talk on the phone or text with them, usually. So it felt good to know that support is there.
Honestly, I've been doing fantastically with detach for the last 5-6 days. Hope I can keep it up. This is the closest I've come to completely dropping the rope.

Still feeling good today. I have the night to myself and am thinking of going to the local university's music school to play a little piano in one of their practice rooms (if they're still unlocked like they were when I was in school) and watch the free jazz concert tonight. I used to hate jazz, but it is one of the things I have actually begun to enjoy since BD. I have had a major shift in music taste, I think partially because I have no memories with WAW tied to them.
On the other hand, football is on TV tonight. I can't believe I'm actually debating between watching Monday Night Football and going to a jazz recital. That was unthinkable over the last 10-15 years.

Went with jazz and it was soooo good. who am I?? I'm not sure yet but I like it. I also got to go back in time and practice in the piano rooms that I used to sneak away to while I was in engineering school. Then ran into two different groups of friends at the grocery store. Then held a puppy at the pet store! Every day should be like this
I feel like I should journal the good times, too, so I have something to reflect on the next time I melt down lol
