I Was Almost A WAW....Still (Next Thread)

Well, I can't divorce him just b/c he brings home junk.....even if I want to sometimes! The tax situation.....I don't know what to do. If we file seperately, we really pay through the nose. I think I'll see about a short form since it is so late and he hasn't gotten started on the paper work. Last year when our DIL figured up the short form, it was way too much to pay in, so we had to go the long way. She was up practically up all night getting it prepared in time to mail.

I have talked and talked to him about the seriousness of the tax filing, but he seems to stick his head in the sand and doesn't want to think about it. At least that is the way it appears to me, b/c he doesn't talk to me or let on that he is thinking about it and I don't see any action--so that is the way it looks.

I was told that we might get an extension from the city about the yard, so he called and they gave us another week. So, say a prayer that we can figure out what to do with the vehicles. My D is going to talk to the GS about the dog. It's just that right now the weather is really bad and having to get the tax stuff ready....it all hits at once. That's life, isn't it!

But I remember in years past that other things hit us around this time that was a lot more serious than what we are facing now. We CAN do something about this.....what we faced back then was nothing we could do anything about.

I went to the doctor today and he uped my Zoloft to 150 mg. I have gained about 15 pounds in the two months I've been on it and he said we could try something else, but I've tried so many that never worked. I told him I would give it one more month on this higher dosage and if I could still tell no difference at all, then I would stop taking it. My former SIL took 300 mg of it and he got fat as a pig. As soon as he got off of it, he lost down to his normal size again. I don't want to get bigger, but I sure want to feel better....I am so tired of feeling like this all the time. Maybe if I can watch what I eat and try to exercise more, it won't be too bad. I did real good through the holiday meals.....until last night when I finished off a huge piece of pie!

imLin, thanks for your incouragement! My Dad always believed a person could change, so let's pray my H and I both will change for the better this next year. Lillieperl, I don't keep a spotless house by no means and I get real behind in my work when I'm down with the Fibro mess.....and guess what? I get very depressed about it too. So, it's not just my H's stuff, it's my own mess that I get stressed over.

This has been kind of odd to me that so many of you have responded to this stitch in my life when things had almost come to a stop before. You guys and gals are the best! Thanks again.
