Well, GB, I hope you did get to see at least some of the awesome New England colors. I thought our trees around here were pretty colorful this year. The last couple of years they have been sort of blah. Don't know why we were blessed with the beauty this year but they were gorgeous.
I've had a little set-back with my GAL project. Very complicated, but the place I was planning on getting didn't pan out and then the person I was planning to do my project with had to move so we are on hold for a couple weeks. We will start looking for a new location in a little bit and get back on track.
I'm still working on my house getting those projects completed. My BF is very handy and has helped me with a lot of maintenance issues. He is so sweet to help out. And so patient. EX was not overly enthusiastic about home maintenance and would often lose his temper when smaller projects inevitably turned into bigger or messier ones. It's so refreshing to not have to deal with that attitude.
There has been a very slight crack in the door of communication with the EX. I had to contact him about an unrelated business issue and then added some info in the email about our boys and the current issues that each of them are going through. I didn't expect a response but I got one. And it was civil. I do not have any desire to have a "life" with the EX, but I do think our communication needs to improve with regards to our sons. I have to co-parent with this man, regardless of the past, and I feel our sons will be better off if the two of us are on the same page. Anyway, I see it as progress.
Hope all of my cyber friends are hanging in there. We're quickly approaching the holiday frenzy. Don't let the madness get you down!
Hugs, Spitty
