It's officially over - race season! My nephew had a good season overall. At one point about 6 weeks back he got wrecked and the car was 'totaled'. He was so disgusted that he was ready to throw in the towel and quit. The team pulled together and were able to fix it and he came back stronger than ever! Last night in a 40 lap special with a huge payout he finished 2nd! Awesome.
H is hopping around with cell phone carriers/plans again, trying to cut costs. I have offered him my discount thru work before but he would never take it, then I was contacted by my carrier and they were able to put it on H's account too. I told H, and said I had no knowledge of his private info! Now he may stay with his carrier. I did say the best way to save money would be for both of us to share a family plan again. The seed is planted but he's not ready yet. I have been after him to help me with the mortgage more than he has, only twice this year. H just won't manage his finances and will only pay the squeaky wheel after he pays and plays himself first.
H did me a big favor to help troubleshoot my internet service. I was plentiful with WOA for H. Better now but not okay and a technician is supposed to call for service.
Some friends of our bought a new place a few months ago, they're just 5 minutes from us now. We helped them move in. They had a bonfire the other night, I had told H about it and he wanted to go. They also told me they made a special call to H to give him a personal invite, so I am real glad I had already told H.
These friends are also builing a small barn to move their horses to their place. I've gone to help, and I'm the only female there with all the guys. All the other wives are shopping or playing somewhere else. Why is that? why don't women help more? I don't get it! Yesterday was a tough day but we got all the steel on the sides and on the roof. I got hugs when I left!
Today I have a friend coming to talk. I got this email from her, she has had a real tough summer in her M. I'm not quite sure how to handle all this, there is a lot of stuff buried in her words.

Hello,
I am writing to number one apologize for my behavior this past summer. I have been very selfish and cruel. It is my fault for laying my life out on my sleeve and getting everyone involved with my life's problems. I have taken advantage of you and I am very disappointed with myself. I want to settle up with you. I would like to get (horse) closer to home. I need to get back in touch with (horse). But for right now, the bills are screaming at me, and I need to cut costs.It is extra money I need to make to catch up with the medical bills for myself, (her H) and all I need for to take care of (horse).You are a very busy person and do not need to be burdened with me. The fears I face today are not all horse related. It is my self esteem and other personal problems that I battle today.
I have made a fool out of myself and I am very disappointed in myself for causing so many people so many problems and stress. Not only have I taken advantage of you, but (horse club) has too.
When would be a good time to talk with you and to come over to see (horse).I would like to come Sunday to see (horse), after Church, for a while. Yes, I will be there.
Thank you.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
