Went waterfowling this morning with a buddy that I hunted with a lot in the years past. First time out this season. We did good...shot a limit of Gadwalls. Had to break some thick ice to set out the decoys. We got 14 inches of snow on Christmas Eve and it's still real cold.
Son has spent the night the last 2 nights, and it's been a pretty good time. This divorce is gonna be nasty and very costly. He told me last night that his mom thinks that I'm trying to "spend all the money" because I bought a nice Christmas for them (she recently said the same thing to me) and I bought myself a new truck a little over a week ago. She continues to say derogatory things about me to them. Sometimes I don't know how to respond. I just don't say anything derogatory about her to them.
I am getting more enjoyment out of my work. Haven't been able to take down the Christmas stuff yet because of the weather. I'm just working at building myself up in every way I can to get through this and come out of it a better, stronger man. It hurts like a b!tch.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
