I am one step closer to buying the house. The owners and I agreed on a price today. We ended up meeting halfway, so it worked out pretty fair. Now I need to get the house inspected. I am expecting that to go off without any problems because everything but the windows was redone or replaced in the past year. I also need to get final approval on the financing which is expected to be no problem as well. I should get the keys the day before I have to be back to work. Too bad it isn't a little sooner. H seems pretty happy for me and the Ds.
So far I have packed up two boxes of sweaters. I guess I'll see what it was like for you BBJ, going through all the memories.
I decided to play nice lastnight and asked the Ds if they wanted to invite H to dinner. H accepted and actually cut out of work much earlier than usual to come. I have decided that for the Ds and my sanity I need to have a resonable friendship with him. I am glad for that, yesterday and today we able to spend time together and talk at Ds competition without any tension. When D got on the ice today we happened to be sitting right in her line of vision. She looked up and saw us and lit up with a huge smile. I am so glad that we are becoming friends so that it makes the Ds' lives somewhat more enjoyable.

Weird weekend. Friday I was feeling nice so I invited H to come to the house and have dinner with the Ds and me. He agreed and actually left work much earlier than the norm. When he left after dinner he thanked me. Sat. he met D10 and me at the rink for her competition. D and I were staying to watch some other skaters after she was done. H decided to stop at the house to see D15. H left to take care of something w/ his car but then got lunch for D and was there when we got home. He left shortly after we got home. Yesterday the shower wasn't draining in the morning. I tried a couple of things to fix it but it was still messed up. I called H to ask what I should try next. He told me and offered to come over to do it. I told him that wasn't necessary I could do it. Then he asked about coming to take D driving. She said yes so he took her, stayed a little while then went to see a friend. I had to leave to sign some stuff for the house, and he had stopped back by while I was gone. (I knew he was going to.) When I got home I was going to get some take out so I asked if he was planning on eating or if he was leaving. H stayed for dinner and when he left I told him he could take the leftovers. I got a couple of more thanks. I think my kindness is throwing him for a loop.

Ohh Red...it sounds like some positive steps there!!!! I am glad things are starting to maybe turn around for you!!
REmember to take it slow, it is baby steps!!!
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
I am sorry I have been gone a lot lately. I've been working hard on the GAL thing and most of my GAL activities aren't good for computers.
You continue to sound like you are making progress. Remember to set some ground rules and stick with them. You are doing so well. Keep it up and I may have to put away the 2x4
Hey (((RH))), I have to agree with some of the others. You sound good and that the action you are taking may be having a positive benefit for your R. That it may be helpful for your R is an added benefit.
Thanks for are the good wishes. I signed the final loan apps yesterday. It was pretty scary going and doing that all alone, but I'm proud of myself. I went looking for things for the house yesterday but didn't have much luck. I did find a great deal on dishes, so at least I know we won't have to eat out our hands.
As far as H...he called for some reason in the morning that I don't remember. I called him later to ask about something that had come in the mail. H was in a meeting and gave me a quick answer and called back later. He called again later in the afternoon to see how the meeting w/ the mortgage co. went. He offered to pick D15 up from soccer practice.
I am trying to limit my time here so I apologize for not posting on your threads.
