The final season of Peep Show begins airing in the UK on 11/10. I hope Hulu doesn't make me wait too long for it! Peep Show is my all-time favorite show.

Currently I have started GoT. I'm on season 1 ep 4.

I might watch Broadchurch (is that the name?) next. Or Bloodline.

I also plan to watch Master of None. I'm currently listening to Modern Romance, so I must be on an Aziz kick.

I love the colors TR posted!

I painted my nails this morning and ran 2 miles, so I'm pleased with day so far. My goal for November is to run at least 1 mile every day. I just discovered today that the loop my apartment sits on is a little over two miles. I've lived here almost 2 years and never realized it was that big! I plan to use it to my running advantage in the coming month. I may sign up for a Thanksgiving 5k to do at home...burn a few calories before I eat my weight in food, lol.

I have therapy in a bit, which I wouldn't mind normally but my bank account is lower than it's been in ages and it's stressing me out, and I have a large co-pay to see him. We had talked about me coming in every week for a month, but I think it will probably be another month before I can get in again with all the Christmas costs coming up, too.

I am ragey at that stupid Facebook post about the black guy who had a good encounter with a cop so therefore...racism is bunk. I made a fb response to it and no one's liked it. Someone better like it, lol.

I need Saturday night to get here. I am over this work week.

I'm giving a talk tonight at a local event and I am supposed to talk for 10 minutes. I am going to practice today bc 10 is nothing! I'm setting my stopwatch while I talk, too, to make sure I don't go over.

A song from the Titanic soundtrack just came on Pandora. I'm pretty sure that soundtrack would be the most played CD in my life, lol. So many pre-teen and young teen angst memories are associated with it in my mind.

bl and jojoandleo, I Know Places is my favorite song on the album. I also loved hearing her talk about its creation on the deluxe album. I also loved Wonderland and I Wish You Would.

I can seriously barely keep my eyes open. I'm going to trivia tonight and may leave early to go to bed. I wish I had a gallon of coffee.

bl, I would completely delete because if I were in a serious relationship, I would hate for my phone to pop up with a message from Tinder with a message like, "Super likes are waiting for you!" or from Bumble I once got a "Your matches are waiting to hear from you!" message after ignoring it for like, 6 months. I understand innocence can be proven, but I would hate to see that if I were in the other person's shoes.

I had therapy yesterday. It was good and I think we found a good starting point. I have so much stuff to get through, but he seems very much like the type of therapist I prefer. Empathetic, compassionate, yet straightforward. I am going to see him every week for a month and then dial it back. I'm glad to be a good path, but ugh, goodbye extra money!

Last night, someone's car in the apartment complex had a malfunction where the car alarm started going off in shrills between 3:30am-5:00am. Needless to say, I am so.freaking.tired.

The leaves are in full color change here so I think I'll head to the park for a walk.

I need to grocery shop but I hate going on Sundays so I'll hold off until tomorrow. I need to meal plan anyway, so I'll do that today.

No other plans....lazy Sunday in full swing!

Preds won tonight, yay!

I made carrot cake muffins tonight, too. I've never made a carrot-based dessert and suddenly I was obsessed with the idea. Now I have a yummy addition to breakfast tomorrow.

I slept terribly last night. I hope tonight is a good sleep.

I'm sorry love. Big hugs to you, too.

bl, that is how I'm feeling, too - very unsettled. I don't like it. Big hugs to you!

I went and visited President James K. Polk's house today. They allowed pictures without flash. A kid was using a camera that made a beep every time it focused and a shutter-clicking when it took the pictures...and he took a million pictures while the guide was talking. I was so annoyed that neither his mom nor dad turned off the noise on the camera since it was clearly bothering the group (and it really was distracting). And there was a know-it-all older lady on the tour, ugh.

The leaves are just starting to turn here, so I had a really pretty drive today.

I worked all day today at an outside event. It was pleasant, but I was tired. I ran around all day yesterday, so when I came home I tried to nap but I had a nightmare and woke up within an hour of falling asleep. I feel so tired, but I don't want to wake up at 5am, so I'm trying to stay up.

A purse I ordered from Target came in today. It's so cute! I'm happy I ordered it.

Tomorrow I hope to go explore my area again. I'm excited about it. I'm going to see an historic site that's been on my list since I moved here.

Although I filed for a divorce, I was initially blindsided when my exH suddenly moved out and began an affair. I was heartbroken and didn't take any action for 15 months. He was in and out, saying he loved me one day, saying he didn't want anything to do with me the next. It was hell. We had been together 10 years, married for 6 years.

Did you actually get over your ex eventually?
Yes. I think the good years and memories will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am over him. I don't have a desire to know him nor an interest in his life. It took me a few years to get to this place, but since time was what I needed, I'm glad I took it.

When did you come to a point where you didn't want to touch him at all and didn't care about what is going on with him at all?
From the day I found out about the affair...about 3 years.

How soon did you start dating?
I didn't start dating until our divorce was finalized (about 1.5 years after I found out he was cheating). I quickly discovered I wasn't ready and shut down all the dating sites. It was another year before I tried again, so it was about 2.5 years after the affair (and getting divorced during that time) when I started dating.
