Hello everyone. I'm better today. There was drama this morning but I diffused it pretty quick. It was lots less than yesterday so I see that as a positive. I played cards last night, got put out pretty early. My brother ended up winning the tournament and took home $240. I had a good time but drank a few too many Land sharks but after the drama yesterday I needed to get a little loose.

Moved some more stuff over to the house today and and worked on the last remaining bedroom. Hopefully it will pass BIL's inspection tomorrow and I can start painting. The guy is supposed to come and tap onto the sewer tomorrow but he was also supposed to come this past Friday and Saturday but never showed. I moved a bed over there so the master is coming along nicely. My Interior decorator (sister) and niece worked in there all day so it looks really good. The bathroom is now done with the exception of putting up a towel rack which I will do tomorrow. Bath pictures out in alternate universe later tonight!! I loaded some more stuff in the car tonight and there was a little attempt at drama and I just said, "listen, I'm trying to get out of here as fast as I can, we can either make this easy or make this hard" she then started to get on me again at which point I said, "there's really no need to go into all this any longer, I'm leaving, no use to rehash all this". I played with D for a bit, then took a shower..

And last but not least...the wedding pictures..now I know the majority would like to see me send those pictures to STBX..I'll now explain why I won't be doing this at the moment...and I'll use this analogy. Let's say you get a new dog, you're gonna housebreak the dog, so you take her outside every so often at first, if she pees outside then you reward her with a treat..now after a while the dog gets conditioned to know that if it pees outside it get a treat..it's rewarded..if you let the dog back into the house and and it squats on the rug, are you going to give it a treat?? will you reward it?? no, you'll pick the puppy up, say bad dog and take it outside...My STBX is a lot like that puppy at the moment..she's acting up, she's being mean. she's making the process harder..I'm not rewarding her with pictures right now..In the future if she exhibits good behavior then she may get a bone thrown to her....BUT RIGHT NOW..SHE DOES NOT GET REWARDED.

I know some don't agree, but we will just have to agree to disagree right now..No hard feelings..when she shows me good, nice...then she will get some pictures..

I hope everyone has a good night and week..

Ian, Lissie, Bethie, Racefan, Girl..Distressed..goldy..Karen.SC.appreciate it very much..

To all the rest I'm sorry I could not get to your threads this weekend, trying to deal with my chiitt took it's toll. Hopefully I can catch up..
