Thank you everyone. Your support means a lot.
It's raining cats and dogs here which is somehow strangely helping. My mindset is "It's just another rainy Tuesday." Oddly too is the great distraction caused by the death of Robin Williams. Kind of hard to feel sorry for yourself when there is a family whose world has been gutted.
I'll be super busy throughout the day and I'm only worried about this evening. Contemplating taking myself out for a nice dinner or a movie or both.
You're all so wonderful! Thanks again!

Hello, Peeps.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all!
Well, gosh darnit - I SURVIVED!!!
I kept super busy during the day. Will admit, around 2:43 or so (roughly the timing of our vows), I had a bit of a pause, but the great news is ZERO TEARS throughout the day.
Stopped on the way home for a couple of cocktails at a steakhouse I've been wanted to try. Had such a good chat with the bartender that I really found myself in another place. She was a hoot and having been a BW before, we ended up having a lot in common and shared stoopid former spouse stories.
I truly enjoyed myself despite the fact that her name was the name of one of his out-of-state OW.
I won't lie - that was a bit of incredible irony.
After a stop to the grocery store, I got home and made myself a nice dinner and called it a night.
Phew - a HUGE milestone has passed!
Youz iz all da best!
