Going thru the stages
It's not like someone died, but something did. A little piece of me.
Dr. Phil says there are 4 stages of grief: Shock, Denial, Anger, and Resolution. However, since I think Dr. Phil is a douchebag, I'll take the word of all the other experts out there. The 5 stages of grief:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
There is no specific time limit to any of these stages - but I feel like I've gone thru them all in 3 days flat.
I want to say thanks to all of you who are sending good thoughts my way. I really do appreciate it. This will be a good thing for me, really. A new start, if you will. Things will be good, I have a lot to look forward to. Don’t cry for me, Argentina.
I have a renewed spirit, a feeling of relief and optimism about the future. I haven’t felt this in a very long time.
I will be sad at times. Things will remind me of him. But I know that this is the best decision I could make – for me, for him, for my family. We truly are not good together. Not good for each other.
Birthday next week - I will definitely be doing something fun. Let me know if you'd like to join me!

Early Happy Birthday Wishes!
Late sympathetic wishes.
I'm down with birthday stuff, just have to know when & where & clear it with the wife.
Cool! I'll let you know. The b-day is actually on Wednesday, which is of course a sucky day to go out, but stay tuned. :)
Hey! Crappy birthday! What a week! Blogger has been firewalled out at work. I'll bet Paul Varghese has missed me! Howabout you?
