Good Morning All, It's spring break here. Wouldn't you know that it is cool and rainy? Oh well, a rainy spring break is better than a week at school anytime!
I haven't really done anything this week, but it's been nice and relaxing.
Sunday DD got a call from a former classmate inviting her to go to Florida the next day. So I thought why not? I told her I didn't mind, but she better call her dad. She called him and he gave her the little speech, "You know I raised you right, so I expect you to behave yourself while you are down there." Now keep in mind this is the man who has never been much of a hands on dad and walked out on the family for OW when she was 15. I was thinking to myself, yeah right, if she followed your example she would be misbehaving! So she is in sunny Florida right now.
DD and I met H at the bank Monday morning so she could get money from him. He was friendly and asking me if I thought he was giving her enough money. I told him I thought it was more than enough. He does tend to go overboard when he gives her money, but hey I'm not complaining. I didn't have to give her a dime. DD always tells everyone, when they ask how she got the money from him, "I deserve it". H may not be there emotionally for her much, but financially she has him wrapped around her little finger.
Yesterday I met a friend for lunch which was close to the flooring store. So, yes I swung in there and picked out new ceramic tile for the bathrooms and hardwood for my room. The owner is a woman who went through a very similar situation as me. She and her husband owned the business together. He had an affair with their bookkeeper. I do think her situation was worse than mine. Her XH and the OW were involved in drugs together. She ended up with the business.
I think this lady and I are going out to dinner Friday night. It will be nice to actually go do something with someone who is not married.
