Wow. Two days since I have blogged. I guess I didn’t realize I’d be as busy as I was in San Jose, but I was. And I feel so very behind in my bloggy reads, and my own blogging.
I’m feeling busy – like, whoa (see, I knew I’d tie in that blog title somehow!) – and a little all over the place – again – so, I bring to you, my random musings and updates du jour:
…I was amazed at how many comments and thoughts my blog on Sunday elicited. And, to be honest, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the possibilities that lie ahead. I hope to make one of these ideas come to fruition in my quest for simplicity and change.
…Nala is improving! I was really nervous to leave her for my trip, but she had great care (thanks to mom and Jess/Scott!) and the medicine seems to be helping. She’ll be on it for another week and then we’ll go from there, I think. Thanks for all of your support, concern, and kitty prayers. They’re working.
…not much new in the world o’ dating at the moment (goes back to being busy ‘like whoa’ partially). Southern Boy is still around, sort of, but his schedule isn’t quite jiving with mine, we’ve both been traveling, and as I mentioned in a previous post, I’m not sure what he’s “in it for” – casual dating or longer term. If he’s out for something strictly more casual, then perhaps not meant to continue, but we’ll see. Door’s still hanging open at the moment. Few other prospects in Chemistry.com (which is still such a disappointment to me!) and OKC…but nothing to write home about…yet.
…I ran my longest run on Saturday – about 6 1/2 or 7 miles – go me!! I’m slowly starting to increase my runs since the Wicked Half is just a couple of months away (eek!), and I’m feeling good, day by day. I’m running a 5K tomorrow as well, good race practice.
…what else? Oh, things with me and Pete continue to go well, and I’m constantly reminded at how well we just “get” each other, and get along. This is what was meant to be, between us, and I’m glad. Looking forward to dinner tonight with him, to catch up (belated birthday dinner, in a sense, as well, as his 30th birthday was on Sunday).
that’s about all I got today folks – just some random one-off updates…happy reading, if I haven’t put you to sleep with my ramblings today

Good job with the run and good luck tomorrow! Can’t wait to hear about it. I think it’s so great that you and Pete can remain friendly. I’m also very happy to hear about Nala.

thanks heather! I’ll be channeling your speed in my run tomorrow (ha – right!)

I’m still very proud of you for conquering your longest run yet…and I think it’s awesome how you’ve evolved your relationship with Pete. It clearly is just the way it was meant to be. And uhh, ps. I’m totally with you on constantly thinking about the next chapter…
June 23, 2010 at 12:27 pm
thanks sis…right there with ya (on all accounts…)
June 23, 2010 at 11:12 am
i want that relationship with my ex. desperately. you’re giving me hope that it’s possible…
June 23, 2010 at 12:28 pm
thanks for the visit – checking out your blog as we speak…glad to “find” each other, and having a friendship with my ex has taken time, but we’re making it work and it’s just all I could ask for. Good luck.
June 23, 2010 at 11:13 am
Yeah, I need to get some running in myself. Not working towards a half but a couple of triathlons are beckoning…
Glad to see that you and Pete continue to nourish your friendship.
And happy about Nala!!
June 23, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Thanks T! The triathlon thing – yeah, that sounds awesome, ‘cept for the I-can’t-swim part – so I’ll live vicariously through you on that one!!

“Getting each other.” That’s good. That’s often better than good.
(And no, your ramblings aren’t putting us to sleep.)
June 23, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Thanks BLW – phew, glad I’m not *that* boring ;-P And “getting each other” is great, it’s what we both need, I think, in each other.
June 23, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Can’t wait to come back and hear all about it..Good luck:)
June 24, 2010 at 8:37 am
thank you!
June 23, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Welcome back!
Yeah for Nala! Glad to hear she continues to improve!
Bravo on the run and the best of luck tomorrow!
Think it is incredible how you and Pete are able to be friends after your divorce. Stastically, I’d be willing to bet you are in the majority – most divorced couples only speak with each other when necessary.
You? Put us to sleep? I don’t think so! *grin*
June 24, 2010 at 8:38 am
Thanks so much – glad I don’t put ya to sleep
And yes, I know that what Pete and I have is supremely abnormal, but in a good way, in this case!
June 24, 2010 at 6:14 am
Glad you’re back. I still don’t understand this running thing, but I support your endeavors.
June 24, 2010 at 8:38 am
thanks friend
I got a chuckle out of that one…thanks for supporting my endevours! ha.
