Positive developments? #2

Good weekend overall. W felt terrible on Saturday and Sunday, so we never made it out to a movie and dinner, but Redbox came through. Also got the furniture nicely packed and back to Dallas. I'll be back in Houston next weekend for the washer and dryer, and to help her move furniture to her grandparent's ranch.

FIL came up a few times during the weekend, she said he's really stressed in retirement, can't sleep because of some stuff going on with SSIL, and also W's situation, and health issues. FIL actually texted her in the night asking if she was up. Creepy. He's so miserable in retirement he's considering a position with a company. Tough life.

I helped her with her phone and computer issues, and while on her phone noticed an e-mail marked confidential. Probably shouldn't have snooped, but I did. It was news of SSIL in legal trouble, sounds like she's in jail. Too bad, I really like her, but I think she'll turn it around.

W wrote to FIL "thanks so much for your patience with my issues and with SSIL's baggage"

FIL wrote back "You're making some really good choices lately, and soon you won't have any baggage at all. Keep following God and he'll bless you!"

So, there's the rub with snooping. Also, there were some e-mails from a potential OM who watched W's dog during her retreat. I've met the guy though, that at least is good.

I was fairly chapped after that. Baggage huh? FIL's probably talking financial, but referencing the D as well. Yes, she's making some much better choices now, but he has no idea about them. Someday I'll hopefully get to break the news to him. For now, choice is up to W.
