So, how are you doing?
People keep asking me how I'm doing. The answer is....well, it varies, from day to day. And sometimes from hour to hour. Overall, I think I'm doing pretty damn good. I'm still getting dressed every morning and driving to work, and talking to people, and I haven't crawled into a hole with a liter of tequila. I count these things as victories.
Jill's Post-Separation FAQ:
Do you think you want to go for a weekend conference in May?
MAY???? MAY???? Are you freaking kidding me? I can't even think past "Tuesday" at this point, and people are asking me about May. I don't even know what my life will look like in May.
Have you thought about the fact that he might have left you for another woman?
Thanks. No, really. Thanks. Because a) OF COURSE I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, and 2) If I haven't thought about it WHY ARE YOU BRINGING IT TO MY ATTENTION? Jesus. Seriously.
How's E doing?
Fine. She has no idea that anything is going on. Because I can't figure out how to tell her yet.
Did you ever think you'd be nearly 40 and single again?
Fuck you.
Comments:
Oh oh man. This is definitely the best (worst?) list of things people say and then wish they could kick their own rears for. Getting out of bed, much less dressed, and carrying on...definitely a huge victory. Now, if at some point the liter of tequila does sound good, for a one off, you know who to call. Not to lead you astray---and I am awed at your strength and grace Miss Willow---but my local taqueria has 99 cent margies daily for happy hour. Thanks for trusting me with your confidences. (HUGS) always.
Yeesh. And I thought I had it bad with the questions I was being asked. Not even close.
Sorry, sweetie.
Do people really aks the "other woman" question? Jeez...I'd say that "fuck you" would be an appropriate response to that one, too.

I've actually gotten the "other woman" question more than once, if you can believe that.
I'm amazed at the things that come out of people's mouths.
When I was pregnant, my personal favorite was "Are you SURE you aren't having twins?" or "Are you SURE you aren't due until September? You're HUGE!"
