I guess it's time for me to tell the thread my "news".
I spent yesterday night in my house for the first time. I'm on the pooter at where I USED to live - hers now. She asked me for a divorce on Jan 05, and I said, "okay". We've filed, and I am waiting for the days to tick away until my right-to-contest has passed, because while I doubt that our settlement would be considered equitable by a sufficiently attentive attorney, it is simple and I am satisfied with it.
I discovered that (at least on match dot com) I live in a desert as regards the option of intelligent and pleasant female companionship, but so long as I don't mind driving an hour or two I can get the odd date with a living breathing female in my age bracket. I am flatly uninterested in chasing the young (under, oh, 39) stuff.
I am most of the way moved out, and I get to keep my e-mail addy and will get DSL in Chateau Chitte on, oh, mid-month. No need to express sympathy... I take it as a sign that I am unbound from what had become a stifled relationship that my health has taken off like a (bad word) rocket in the past month!!
That being so - once I have a handle on what it costs to live as a single renter, I plan to TRAVEL. Any DARian who cares to host me (and does not share living space with dogs, cats or hip-hop music; I react badly to these, with allergy being the cause in two out of three cases) is invited to PM me, and I might just set my carcass astride the good ship Aching A and cross a part of the USA andor Canada to do so. I am feeling phiysically more well than since even before the Big Bike Trek of '03, and I have re-activated my ambitions of hiking the Half Dome in Yosemite, a good hard 17-mile round trip, sometime this calendar year. I am training myself hard and lean on the "bunny slopes" of our local Sierra foothills, and I have dedicted myself to trying to publish some of my elaborate, esoteric works of short fiction.
OK that's enough for one post, wouldn't'cha say?
cheers all js |
