He read the email I sent him yesterday in which I included some poetry about my heartbreak. He decided to call me. He didn't say much about it but he was nice and there was a tenderness in his voice that I hadn't heard in a while. It was the first time we talked that I didn't have tears in my eyes since the separation. I feel good. I smiled again. We talked about my career goals now that I am going my separate way. I plan to end up in a university teaching software design and he mentioned how good I would look wearing his fav university's cap. Hmmm. I told him previously I wouldn't be moving near him because I would never end up moving on in my life. I would hang around waiting for him to pop in and out of my life while not living between those times. I am very realistic with myself. Out of sight does not mean out of mind but I would never look for anyone else to share my life with if I could see him regularly.
My day is looking better emotionally. I have to work at noon. LOL! Oh, I got my first full-time two week paycheck from McDonald's yesterday and I laughed. I haven't made such a scant amount of money in many years. It was enough to pay my first month's rent and that was it. Goodness I worked hard for it as well. I can't wait to be back on track with my career. I prefer using my brain over using my body for sure! Everything aches from using muscles I forgot I had. I'm still not used to being on my feet for 8 hours a day yet.
