I spend a lot of time in my house... like, a lot. I leave to go to work, the grocery store... and maybe a movie once in awhile. I think the winters here have something to do with it - I just can't see much reason to leave the house when the windchill is -40'C. Spring rolled into town (finally) and I realized how much time I was spending indoors and online.
Part of why my ex and I split is that I didn't feel I was "living" enough... and what was I doing? Though I love love love LOVE my friends here on SG, especially those in Silliness, I was just spending too much time here (and on Facebook, and on msn etc). So, I took a mini vacation from SG, tried to go cold turkey... without too too much success, BUT the good news is that I set some goals and achieved them
I went out and did some things that I had been meaning to do for ages. I've seen some great places that I've never been to before (and didn't bring my camera along, unfortunately). I've been outside and enjoyed the sunshine. I have worked on some projects that have been on the back-burner for far too long.In short, it's been an amazing week. I'm still very lonely... I missed my friends here on the site, and the people I talk to pretty much every day on msn. I still have to find some kind of balance... living in the real world & still spending time with people that bring so much joy to my life.
So that's what's been going on. But also...
I'm still working double, sometimes triple the hours that I used to at the movie theatre... I'm really enjoying it though. My new boss is great (95% of the time - he does tend to run a little hot and cold once in awhile), and he introduced me as "the one who can do anything" to someone from head office yesterday
He's also called me his MVP, which was nice. I think it's the first time I've been praised at a job. I was given a dollar an hour raise, and he said he's going to try to bump me up again after three months have gone by. He's also surprisingly cool with the fact that I'm going on vacation for a month this summer (going to see my family & camp & surf ).
Trying to get to the gym more. After I hurt my bad hip last time... well, I was out for about a month as far as anything physical. I'm feeling good now, and happy to be back on the horse.
I found out just yesterday that my divorce can be finalized a year after my ex and I separated, even though we live in the same house still. I thought it was going to be much longer - a year after we were living apart... which would put us somewhere in 2010, as far as our plans go. See, we live in a big enough place that we can have seperate bedrooms and bathrooms... though we hang out quite a bit on the main level of the house where the kitchen & living rooms are. Does that sound weird? I mean, we honestly get along so much better now than we ever have in the 11 years we were together as a couple. We talk a lot... and about everything... things you might not expect former lovers to discuss... I do adore him, and I'm glad we can be friends, despite all that we've gone through.
Hope everyone's doing well 
Tell me about your plans for the summer maybe? If you have time, of course
