Well, it sounds like things are calming down for you...
I am with you about the "being friends" part....I just don't know about that...
I just wanted to catch up on your sitch. Its nice that he called with the DVD suggestion. That is a good place to start, I'm thinking.
Finding a new place can be daunting.....but, I think its good to be practical at this point and get what you can be comfortable doing. Sharing a house with a friend is a great idea.....do you really get along with her? Have you lived with her before? It might be really nice to be just living with another person.
Just wanted to let you know you were in my thoughts and thanks for checking and writing on my blog today. I needed it! My best wishes to you as well.
