Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement and support! W called me yesterday at 9:30 and woke me up to tell me her L was filing for a continuance to push it back to after the Holidays and maybe the first of the year. Somewhat a relief. It has me thinking again if I go back now, am I only doing it for the kids and because it is right for them. I think k asked what is right for me? IDK? In the last couple of weeks I've had more thoughts of what could be for me in a couple of years when I've paid off our debt. If our economy hasn't collapsed completely and I still have a job I will be in pretty good shape financially and could build my house at that time. I don't want to go back and then this happens again in another couple of years.

W called me around 6:00 to ask how to make something in the kitchen. She said "Wish you were here to eat with us." WTH? That threw me for a loop. I thought about Arthur saying to have some rehearsed answers for possible questions she might ask. W has been sick and sounds awfully hoarse. I went to bed about 8:45 and never got a call from the kids.

I am ready for Thanksgiving with my brother's family and getting away from work for more than a day.

I am out for the rest of the day. Going to do the work that didn't happen last week at my off-site with a contract crew.
