Hi Old Fool,

Well, my brother/wife finally moved out. It's so quiet in the house. Anyway, the ex came by to pick up some more stuff.

He fixed everything that was coming loose around the house. He even crawled under the house to check if I had a water leak. It was like old times. He came 2 days in a row. The first day, I barely spoke to him, but on the second day, I did converse with him.

He told me that he would be happy to come over and help me with anything that goes wrong in the house. You know, we could be good friends, but I don't want just friendship. That's why I don't call him. I try to do everything on my own (or pay someone to do it).

When he was fixing stuff, it seemed all so familiar as if he never left. It's still so hard to believe that he chose divorce. Anyway...I think he IS in MLC. When we were married, I suggested that he dye his hair. He didn't want to. Guess who has his hair dyed...yep, the ex. He dyed it a light golden brown. He's gotten slimmer but since he didn't mention my weight loss, I didn't mention his.

Those two days set me back emotionally. I have to remain positive, and keep reminding myself that I am getting better and stronger each day.

Sorry for rambling on when your situation doesn't seem to be improving. I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Big Tuna,

How are you doing? Well, as you can see, I was an emotional mess those two days :-(.

I tell you what...I can't wait for this year to be over.

All my best,
alamogirl
