Thanks, Sage and Sad...geez Sad will the similarities never end??? (How about some good ones for a change! )
Just have a few minutes. Gonna be very busy the next few days putting my final grades toghether and prepping for my new course. As exhausted as I've been, the work always rather invigorates me. Stones have settled down .
Had a nice visit with my sister last night, things continue to be just fine with CJ and I.
SHINY!!! KIDNEY STONES, TOO??!!!! Not fair. But, ask my 3 year old, 12:30 is the PERFECT time to go back to bed. In fact, it's required in some places! hee hee
I'm looking for a place that requires it, as a matter of fact. And PAYS me for it. Too ambitous you think?
Glad to hear the attorney put some of your & CJ's fears to rest. No pun intended... The more you can distance yourself emotionally & communication-wise from this mess, the better for you. Just keep repeating (Bill Murray/Meatballs style) "IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER! IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!" (thank SBH for reminding me where that quote came from recently )

------------ This is surviving. There is no such thing as a normal life, there's just life. So get on with it and enjoy it!
Thanks for checking in on me during this busy week. Final marks are in. Phew! Worked on them all day yesterday...by the 5 p.m. my shoulders were tighter than a (use your own dirty analogy ). CJ played it just right by basically laying low, offered to help look for a missing exam, just left me be.
At 5 I was done, hopped in the tub and did myself right up in record time. We were out the door for the George Carlin show by 5:40. (Now I know the guys are saying..so what?...but you ladies know what I mean!!! )
I was tense all the way there, but no complaining, no squabbles. The show (filthy as it is ) was funny as hell and the laughter really helped loosen me up.
We grabbed some dinner afterwards and then just took it easy. CJ's sleeping in bed more often now too...earplugs seem to be working!
He's been really great lately, affectionate, playful and very helpful. He even offered to clean the house and organize having my Dad's 74th birthday party here this Saturday.
Right now he's out buying the goods to make his roasted red pepper sauce for dinner. He thought I deserved it what with all the work and my new class starting tomorrow.
Oh yeah, happy Beltaine everyone...that's May Day, May 1st, which also happens to be our 11th anniversary!
That's about it for now...I hope I can catch up with some of you now!
Shiny
P.S. Blackmailing niece left a message yesterday saying she "has calmed down" and would like to talk. Didn't call back as per lawyer's advice.
Hey, Shiny - wanted to wish you a Happy Anniversary tomorrow. May Day is also when W and I got married - tomorrow will be our 12th. Doubt you got married in a bank like we did!
Im happy for you that everything is good. I have been thinking about you and been to busy to cheak up on ya. But I have some good news. I will be home in California on the 5th of MAY. I sure cant wait. Now if I can just get my damn W to open her mind a bit life would be good.
Thanks for the post - yes, be glad you love your job. I thought I loved mine...but it just drained me and drained me and drained me. I'm going to find something I love now.
Happy Anniversary!!!! (one day late...) Hope you had a wonderful one. Ours is Sept 1st. I hope by then we will be in a place where we can really enjoy it.
