Bring on the Rain - Part 2

[SueS]

lwb-

I don't know if I'd call myself amazing. I'm terrified to tell the truth. I know that I'd be in the exact same mindset as you are if I owned this place. I don't and I have a set deadline. I HAVE TO be out by July 31st. I've been told before by my H to start looking for a place. I'm just doing what I need to do so I'm not scrambling at the last minute to find a place.

Yes, the 3:30 am gararge door opening. I know you've been there. I do remember your H not coming home before the FL trip. Sad.

Can I do you one better though? Joie, if you're out there, I need your input. Sadly, I'm sure you can already guess why. H went to work yesterday, then to golf with some buddies. We had a storm roll through and it was raining with hail. The bad hail was right where they were golfing. Not sure why, but I called him. That was at 6:40 pm. He said that they'd just gotten off the golf course. He said they were going out but that he'd probably be home about 8:00 or so. I didn't count on it though, as he's never kept any promise. I didn't call him when I went to bed at 10:30. My phone rang at 1:42 am. It was H. He asked if I could come and pick him up at our city police station. YES, a DUI. The officer was really nice to me. He said that it was the lowest class offense he could give him. H will be sent info. about a court date and will lose his license for 90 days. Not sure what the fine will be or if he'll have to do community service. This morning I asked H some questions about it. I told him that he's a lucky man. I told him that he's lucky he didn't hurt anyone, that he isn't getting a higher level offense & that of all the times that he's driven drunk, he's made it to nearly 41 years old before it happened. H said that he's learned the hard way. However, I know full well that it won't stop him. Thoughts ran through my head of how I'd be angry if it did stop him. Of all the years that I've gone through this and now, as we're splitting, the issue that has really been our problem, would be coming to an end. However, again, I know he won't stop. He's an alcoholic. He joked that he'd blame it on his friend for wanting to go out. I reminded him that he'd told me he'd be home by 8:00. I also told him that no one MADE him go out. He is capable of saying no. I'm scare of how this may impact me/D4. I just talked to the insurance man the other day asking if he could quote me on insurance just for my vehicle. H will have to be on the insurance because he's on the title to my vehicle right now. However, he won't be listed as a driver. I don't know how this will affect that. I'm scared my rates will rise or we'll be dropped.

We had promised D4 that we'd go shopping today & then take her to lunch. Odd as things were with last night's events, we still did that. H had 2 beers at lunch. So, again, what happened last night won't stop. However, he was smart enough to ask me to drive. I wonder, what, if anything he'll tell OW about it.

Speaking of OW, I did peak at H's phone this afternoon. The last outgoing call to OW was yesterday at 6:53.....just minutes after I talked to H. She tried him back.....at 1:59 am. 1:59 AM!!! Just about the time I was pulling up to the police station to pick him up. Should have been her picking his drunk a$$ up. I almost told him to call her. However, the police officer had also gotten on the phone and asked me if I could pick him up.

It was a nice lunch with D4 though. We went to this great restaurant that has a rooftop area. It was on the 4th floor & had a great view of downtown Minneapolis. MCOJH....ever been to Stella's Fish Cafe on W. Lake Street? (Calhoun Square). If not, I'd recommend. I book a lot of dinners there for work too. It's a fun place.

Well, I better get busy. I have more to do around here. I bargain shopped for D4 again today. I love shopping for her.

Have a good day/evening. I'll try to get on later.

NoCode.....I saw your post last night. You made me smile. Thanks!
