Got called to the office at 4:30am today. So much for rest, then spent time doing trial prep. Got an email who how people are too stressed to cover some of the stuff that I have going on in the office.

You are right that I need to get separation from mother. She’s now asking who I am calling, texting, etc. Really think that it is going to be me that moves, because I don’t see her actually moving. Not sure how that will look financially, but something has to give.

Will pursue that lunch date this week. You were right, I was thinking of all of the reasons why it wouldn’t work, and not why it would work.

I was thinking of the one big difference between my financial life/goals and relationship stuff. In the financial realm, I was thinking that I could do better than my family, in the relationship arena, not so much. Perhaps I should forgive myself for holding onto the self-sabotaging beliefs with regard to relationships.

Does it really matter if she isn’t the “ideal” height or family status? She seems really smart, and is well educated. Despite her recent apparent mistake of judgment, I would like to be in a relationship with her. At least she only made a mistake for a few years :p

Will try to take care of myself, eat better, etc. Read a decent chunk of the book emotional intelligence 2.0 today. Interesting book.
