First Christmas after Separation

I overthink so many things, but other things come as a complete surprise. Like, how after separating from my wife, Christmas would be quite different than it has been. However, it was mostly pleasant, thanks to friends and family.

The first surprise was a tree in English Bay, just outside my building, that is decorated with lights every year (apparently). It made a big difference to me, because I didn't have a tree myself. I could look at it every day from my window.


I did see the kids and my ex-wife before Christmas. I had them over for dinner before Christmas on two evenings since the work schedules for my children didn't synch. On boxing day, family friends had us all over for lunch "as usual". My ex-wife gave me some turkey leftovers.

Christmas day itself was a bit of a glitch. I woke up alone with no tree and one present, went to the gym to work out, called my aged father in Kamloops early because I was lonely (he got a chuckle from that, but was supportive).  However, after lunch a good friend of mine came over and we went for a walk in Stanley Park and then I made him dinner (not turkey, because he is pescatarian).

The celebration for New Year was actually one of the best I can remember. I spent it with a woman that I have started dating recently that has become serious. She arranged New Year's Eve plans. We went on the Stanley Park train in the early evening. The train route is all decorated with lights and sculptures. It was especially fun for me because I can remember being on that train as a kid with my father. We went to the VSO New Year's day concert together, which I really enjoyed. Good way to start 2017. 

On Monday, the last day of the winter break, my Magic:the Gathering card group came over for lunch and to play. We had some enjoyable games. I ate and drank too much. Now I am ready for the Spring regime of losing weight and getting in shape (at least that is the plan).

After 9 years in marriage with my hubby with 3 kids, my husband started going out with other ladies and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatened to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other ladies, I was totally devastated and confused until an old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called DR.
