Thank you for your post. Yes, I had a lot of things on lately, and I hope it will continue this way. I went to a live music performance last night but it was not so good.
I was thinking of what you said recently: "XH will contact you if he wants something!" He did. He is still going on about the money. He wrote that he prepared a nasty mail but could not bring himself to send it. Instead, he asked me nicely. We can stay friends this way; otherwise he will hate me the rest of his life!
Although I could be the one who is angry at XH for all the things he did to me, I will just ignore it and not answer anymore. There is only one more business thing at the moment we need to deal with, and that should be done in a few days.
My neighbour is still getting on at me. Now that his shrubs are gone he can just see whatever I am doing and comes across to talk to me about his intentions. I was sitting in the garden this afternoon wanting to read something and he asked me what my time schedule was for getting the things done he wants me to do. I just don't need all that. – I did ask him for some ideas. - All my neighbours are so nosy and turn around as soon as I step out of the house.
Hi naej,
I forgot to mention that the guy corrected himself and said he meant the dinghy had a foresail! So he didn't actually mean two masts but two sails. ---------
I wrote the above some days ago but didn't post it. In the meantime quite a few things happened and the weather has been so super that I have felt really good lately.
One of the things that happened is that I thought I would "test" XH. I wrote to him about my problems with the neighbour and asking him for advice expecting him to react like he did, i.e. saying that we are not friends anymore and he does not want to help me. So I replied that I thought he would react like that and that was what he called friendship. His next e-mail mentioned again the old thing. BUT THEN, a few minutes later I received an e-mail saying that he cannot abandon me after so many years which I probably knew. He then listed a few solutions. I thanked him for his help and friendship and told him that I didn't know he would offer his help.
I was really surprised that he replied in a positive way in the end. Was it his guilt that made him do it? I would have liked to write "you have already abandoned me" but I didn't!
Snodderly, here is something that will make you smile again:
The next interesting thing was that I put an ad on a local Internet dating site, the same one I am answering to ads. The funny thing was that two guys who I was in contact with before answered to my ad, one of which is the "sailor" who wouldn't reply to my e-mails anymore – LOL.
Yesterday evening I met my GF in the town nearby since it was a super and warm evening. We walked on the water front and went to an outdoor restaurant for a drink. I felt really good. I was dressed in something that other people obviously thought I looked good in since I got many looks.
We had great and very hot weather lately and I spent a lot of time outdoors. Unfortunately, a cold front is approaching and we all just hope that this was not summer and only rain and cold will follow.
On Thursday I will meet the "hiker" again if the weather will be OK and next week-end I will have a family gathering which am looking forward to.
Hi nlt,
Thanks for popping in and your compliment. Yes, I am enjoying life a bit more these days since I solved at least the problem with my neighbour.
