I just planned my birthday trip and I am super excited! Since I am only going to be out of town for one night, I booked a kinda swanky (in my eyes) hotel. I hardly ever treat myself and I feel like I since have had such a hard 1st half of 2014, I totally need this!
I have a coffee meeting this morning at a place that serves my favorite hard to find Israeli breakfast dish. It's going to take all of my willpower not to order it or drool if I see someone eating it.
I left my program friends at the bar last night because I was tired. I never get FOMO but they took pics after and I wish I had stayed.
Amusement park today. I'm dreading the walking around with my hurt foot, so I'm hoping to park myself, at least for a bit, in the water park. But it's only a high of 70 today so that may not last.

Hi all-
I mentioned on ML yesterday that I went to mediation and the outcome was favorable for me. I managed a 60/40 split. Today is his birthday and I feel sort of weird about it - like I should call, but I know I'm not going to call.
I called in sick to work today (and yes, I am legitimately sick) and I'm just resting on the couch.

I'm glad it was favorable for you! Hope you feel better.

Yay, congrats! That's about what ended up with and it definitely made me feel a little better. It doesn't erase any of the hurt he caused me but it helped a little to know I at least came out better than him. He can get only 40% and his slutty girlfriend - I definitely win that one!

Ooh. Where is this? I would love to have good Israeli food here.
Not sure if I'll see P tonight, but there will be serious hump if I do. AF is done and it's been a week since any hump, UGH!
I'll be in Charleston all week next week for a business trip, so excited to see my friends and reconnect with everyone!
P came to my big family pool party Sunday and had a blast, he got along so well with everyone and my grandparents loved him. Something I love about him is how he compliments me to other people...like he was telling my older brother about what he thought the first time he saw me, or him telling my mom how special I am to him.
My parents are on vacation near where my stbxIL's live on the Cape. The last few years they would meet up for dinner with them, but I told them this year to just not do it. My dad said he would feel guilty not telling FIL he was down there, and I told him to suck it up and get over it. I'm sure he and FIL would be fine having a drink and a cigar or whatever, but that means he'd leave my poor mother with MIL, who is unstable on a good day, and would probably be a sobbing mess about me & stbx. She is a huge TMI over-sharer, and I'm sure she has lots of feeeeeelings about what happened.
My parents did go to IL's friends' restaurant on Monday, but I don't think the friends were there that night, thankfully. I was nervous that they'd recognize them and then mention to the IL's that they were down there. Ugh, so ridiculous, but I am relieved.

Oh glad it was a positive meeting. And glad to see you don't plan to call him. He doesn't deserve a HB from you.
Having dinner at my moms tonight with DD. I love the random nights that I don't have to decide what to eat and cook. Obviously I help my mom, but it feels nice to be "taken care of" sometimes.

Things are mostly going well for me. My foot randomly hurts. I need to replace my main pair of walking shoes soon. I'm going easy on my foot for a few days.
There was a bad storm here and the power went out for a while. The new BF was very helpful during that.
About the only drama that we have right now is that he has a small, close group of friends and they love to cook with and eat something that I'm very allergic to. I don't mind people eating them around me but his friends are kind of excessive about it to the point where I am not wild about going over to their houses to eat. I don't mind hanging out with them but I'm not very comfortable eating food in their homes when they are cooking a lot with an ingredient that would make me very sick. It will all work out one way or another. They'll need to not be offended if I bring my own food to eat on my own or if I pass on going. (Seriously in the few times we've hung out, they have had weird things with my allergen on the menu each time so I couldn't eat with them). I will say that the BF is being great about it. I wanted to be annoyed at him but I can't be. (I wouldn't care what they were serving if I weren't majorly allergic to it). Honestly, I'll probably just bring my own food for myself when I am around them. (The BF avoids that ingredient now too). It's just a PITA that it is necessary. Sorry that was kind of a rant.

I worked for a lady who was allergic to chicken. We had to be really careful with any of our catering. Even she was kind of "I don't know WTF it's about either", it really put a big damper on her lifestyle because chicken broth is in so much stuff (even frozen veggies).
Welcome back. I didn't see your post on ML, but congrats on the favorable split!
It's been 3 days since I have been able to snuggle/relax with BF and I'm dying. I know, it sounds stupid, but we usually don't go that long. We've seen each other, but haven't been able to just lie in bed/snuggle. I also just finished my period, so I'm going to climb him like a tree tonight.

I'm really hoping for a hump tonight. I leave for vacation soon and this is the only opportunity to do it. I might die if I go 2 weeks without a FWB visit!!!!

I love that sometimes too. I am so thankful my parents live close by as I have gone through this whole separation. It's so nice to show up at their house and have them cook and take care of me. It's nice to escape the being an adult part of life sometimes.
