Always, sun, lissie,brue & annie...hugs and smooches.
I'm really, really pooped. Too pooped to cry.
This is the really quick update...
graduation weekend went really well. S had fun, got some nice gifts (!) and his school had a really nice ceremony. As far as H and I, it went too well, I always think if we are this "good together" why are we Ding...
I thought I was doing well packing, but it has been a long time since I moved a whole house. I wasn't finished when the movers came, so they just moved what I had. All of the furniture that was going with, as well as about 80 percent of the boxes. I'll just deal with the rest in the next week.
IN the meantime, my boss and really good friend is having open heart surgery tomorrow. His wife is my really good friend that I lunch with all the time. This all came up very suddenly, and so we are all praying and sending positive thoughts.
My brother and his stepson fly in tomorrow to visit and help. It could get complicated if I want to be back over here to see boss..but I'm promising myself I won't worry, just play it all by ear as it plays out.
The "beach house" looks like what I used to call an "old lady" house. You know, a house that an older woman has downsized to, but forgot to get rid of enough stuff!!! Oh well, S and I have some work to do. But one good thing, it looks like a home now already, even with 35 boxes sitting around everywhere.
Okay, I'm exhausted. I'm only good for lying on the couch.
I still have lots of phone calls to make and am very behind, I'm just cutting myself all kinds of slack right now.
I haven't read anyone's thread. I hope everybody is well and am sending my love. Will catch up soon.
I still have about 15% of the stuff left to physically move over, and about 60% of the unpacking ahead of me.
My brother and his youngest step=son were here for the long weekend. Bro was a tremendous help, physically and emotionally. He got all the electronics stuff, especially the computers, up and going. So S14 and I are set on that count.
S14 had fun playing with his step cousin, and that was a great help too. Bro kept me moving forward, although I still have an incredible amount of unpacking and moving still to do.
I am at the old house for the day today. Will drive back late tonight, unpack, sleep, and do it again tomorrow. Hopefully that will cover 98% of it.
Am still married. L is sending out final letter today, and probably will follow up with final draft of agreement next week. I still have some details (parenting class, insurance stuff) to attend to so I'm guessing a couple more weeks and that will be it.
After being incredibly nice on graduation weekend H has become distant it seems. But maybe that is only my perspective...it is almost impossible for me to talk to him right now so I turn the phone over to S pretty quickly when H calls.
I just pulled out my wedding dress to pack. I debated leaving it for H, or pitching it, but couldn't bring myself to do either. I'm not going to be maudlin, and I'm not going to pretend that I think our M was a mistake either.
I'm not really sure how S is doing, and to be honest, I have been so busy with physcial details and my own emotions that I haven't pressed to find out.
My boss has come out of heart surgery well. I'm hoping to get to see him and his wife today. He is supposed to be coming home.
Okay, I just wanted to update to bring myself out of the basement. I'm going to have time to catch up on just a few threads today, but much more on the weekend.
