W called me at work again today (there is no place I can hide from her ) she couldn't get her stereo hooked up properly complaining about how she doesn't have all her stuff situated yet (7 months after she moved out), and she hasn't had enough time to do what she wants.
I had people by my desk at work, I wanted to tell her that I didn't want to hear it go complain to someone else. Instead I took it. Apparently one of the channels (Left Right speaker) is blown, usually a fuse, told her to drop it off at the house and I would fix it for her. That apparently was too much, she wanted it to work immediately, just wanted to get her stuff situated, so I had her hook both speakers up to the good channel, its not stereo but its working, so that made her happy
Hope everyone is staying warm the high today in St Louis was 10 degrees. By Saturday its going to be 40 degrees, time to get the pool out kids
Thank you for checking in on me.

Uh, don't they have the geek squad or someone like that to help her?? Get the number and give it to her. Maybe even a name of a good handy man. You have got enough on your plate without having you having to deal with her "emergencies".
Feeling in a bit of a harsh mood!

Yeah wdid, W trying to keep the friend zone open Hey everyone, I've been busy, I need to check up on all of you.
W had kids last Sunday - picked them up at noon (after church) and dropped them off Monday at noon, they all came into the house with new clothes and toys - what a mom
W called me today D paperwork almost done, wanted to ask me a couple of question, trying to get custody of at least one kid (on paper)so she can get a bigger tax deduction. I told her no, she said ok she would let the L know. W says D paperwork will be done on Monday and she'll drop it off for my signature.
This D crap really messes with your head, I'm working on myself trying to be more outgoing, more friendly, I'm not very talkative so I don't come across as very friendly, need to keep reminding myself of this.
FIL called me today, wants to know what I'm doing this Saturday night, wierd, he's a very nice guy, we didn't do anything together when I was married to his daughter. There are no football games in St Louis or Hockey that night, wonder what he wants. I tried to call him but I haven't been able to reach him yet.
He knows I have the kids fulltime and W walked out on us all, I know his W gave him an ear full before she passed away so he isn't totally in the dark.
Thank you for checking in on me.

I don't know about that. I mean yeah, of course you want to be nice and friendly, but I don't think you should try to make yourself someone different. I mean I'm goofy and I'd like to find someone that can just accept me for my goofiness or maybe even like it sometimes. Instead of trying to get rid of that part of me or change it. Thanks for posting! Sounds like you're doing good and your W is the same ole, same ole.... Karen

Its not that I'm not friendly or outgoing. It's the impression I give other people I want to change. If you're shy you tend to stay in your comfort zone of friends. You don't take social risks, you limit your interactions with new people. Instead of saying hi as you pass someone you've seen several times. I'm trying to be more open with people, strike up a conversation with them. Instead of passing a fellow parishioner and exchange casual hello's, stop and say hello Tom, or whom ever, shake their hand, ask them how they are doing.
Its hard to explain, it basically boils down to that fact that I don't want my experience with my STBX and the hurt and pain I've gone through to drive me into a shell where I don't allow anyone into my life for fear I'll get hurt again.
Karen, goofy is great, goofy people come up with the strangest ideas, have a different take on life, and are fun to be around.
Thank you for checking in on me.
