You will have someone to share the good times with. I can oonly imagine the drastic changes of being with someone for so long (ratbastard that he is and I am allowed to say that, because I care about you) and then for that all to change. The weather is clearing up and you will be meeting people and me thinks you will be fighting men off with a stick. I am picturing you and Gracie going for a walk and bam!
You will indeed find someone who truly values the strong, beautiful woman that you are. Hang in there.

i hope you feel better and I'm excited to see the puppy. It will totally keep you busy and keep your mind off of it! You better post some pics It is your log after all

Like Ginger said, you are going to be fighting off the men and then you can weed out the crappy ones and find a good one. Also, having had pets all my life, I know Sophie is going to make you feel so much better. It sounds goofy, but the unconditional love you get from a pet can be really comforting.

You should be very proud of yourself for resisting the lure of Ben & Jerry! And Ms. Sophie is guaranteed to bring you joy! And, to steal shamelessly from Ginger....

I spent my whole life looking after other people so it is refreshing to only have to look out for me.

Once you have a puppy to cuddle you will be plenty fullfilled with love.

Thanks everyone. I think I just need to muddle through these feelings as best I can. I am hoping a kick-ass workout will help tonight. My stomach is just in knots.
