I am getting close to three weeks alone and trying to adjust. I know that I have been alone longer, his bike ride was 9 weeks. However, that was a different time. John wasn't sick and he called me a million times a day. I am doing better and this week I am extremely busy. That helps.
Last Wednesday I went with two women from my bookclub to my favorite place near where I lived for several years, Third Place Books. We went for a discussion with 5 authors and they talked about their books as well as bookclub ideas. It was fabulous. I had read books by 4 of the authors.
They were so funny. Such a great group.
I did keep very busy over this past weekend with coffee out with my sister and a friend, going to a Halloween party, making pumpkin bouquets, and visiting my son and family.
This week is filled with fun. Yesterday was Ram Lady Birthdays. That is always such a great time. We had wonderful food and tons of laughter. It was just what I needed. I always look forward to getting together and getting updates. Such a fun group of women. What would I do without my women friends? I do cherish them.
Tomorrow is book club and I am excited for that. It is another good group of women and always nice to get together to chat about the book and of course other things! We always have a good book discussion, not to mention a great treat to eat!
I am excited about Thursday night! It is my 5th Ave Theater night with my friend Cathy. We have season tickets and we BOTH need a good distraction. She has been going through some tough times herself. Both of us can hardly wait to escape to Seattle to a good musical production!
All in all I can say I am adjusting, trying very hard to look for the positives.
Keeping busy and doing fun stuff for yourself are the keys. I'm glad to be part of your groups!!
