Yes Lola, police and DHS are involved. It's really ugly. I'll be taking friends with me Saturday, and since I love cops, I'm not afraid to call for help if it's needed. I'm just really in touch with my angry feelings today. I'd much rather be at the driving range. Back to work soon, and not looking forward to the pain...I'll stay off my feet as much as I can. Ice when I'm seated. HERE WE GO, GOLDEY...(that's me giving myself a big cheer)... HERE WE GO!! Peace. p.s. Kerry, I'm filing Thursday morning, provided my foot holds out.

One place I have gotten great furniture and other house-keeping things is City Liquidators under the Morrison bridge on the east side. I always stock up on their 25 cent bars of soap. If you have never been, it is a pretty cool place and there is free popcorn on either the 2nd or 3rd floor.
Well, next time you're there, could ya grab some for me? I just found out I need to be at work tomorrow at 1:00. This is a good thing. I'm almost out of savings. Deliver me, God.
Goldey - I just caught up - can't believe what you have been through in the last 2 weeks!!
So glad to hear that you are in the apt. Is it a month-to-month lease? I am hoping that you get to be back in the house soon.
What sadness (other than the obvious) is S16 having? Has he found a safe place to land, as well? Can he join you in the apt at some point? Is D13 in counseling, too? Where has S19 ended up?
Will you have to have surgery on your leg? Grab a box or something to keep it elevated while you are at work tomorrow (I'm hoping its a desk job!)
I do hope you know how strong you are, and how well you are doing. You did an incredibly hard thing, especially given the sitch with your little bears. But you are making things happen, now - it will be getting better with each passing day.
If you are still looking for free stuff, don't forget freecycle.
And when you go to get your things on Saturday, you can call the sheriff's office - they will often come out to "supervise." They may require a fee (I had to pay to have my ex served with the papers), but it is good assurance.
I'm still thinking about you....(just have to remember to get over to this forum more often!)
Hey Donna, It's a one year lease, but that's okay, the rent is very reasonable, and if I break the lease, I'm not going to lose any sleep. Surgery, no...thank God. Sheriff, yup. Going Thursday to get the paperwork filed. While I'm there, I'll drop off my petition for Divorce. Might as well save the gas! Bear #2 made some bad choices w/ alcohol and is lucky to not be in jail. Or worse. Medically, he was in bad shape when I got the phone call to come get him. I'm a little anxious about returning to work, only because I still have a lot of pain. But it will heal, I'm not worried. This injury has been a blessing of sorts. It forced me to slow down and look at what I really want out of life. I want to be happy. And healthy. Hope all is well in your part of the world. ((hugs)) back at 'ya! love, Goldey
That filled in the blanks - hope you have a good day at work today. Maybe you can go back on a restricted schedule and ease your way back in? Might be hard to push an 8 hour day right off the bat....
4 hour day (afternoon) with walking restrictions. I wear the daytime boot unless I'm driving, and the nighttime splint around the apartment (even in bed!)
I am in constant pain. But it doesn't wake me up at 2:00am anymore.
I've been having a major pity party all week, ever since my sister/BIL left Saturday night. I hate that feeling when she leaves. Makes me weepy just thinking about it. She's truly my best friend. (purple puddles)
Thought I'd try a little gratitude list, to turn things around... Stuff Goldey is grateful for: to be continued...
