still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

CW I found your thread- duh- just missed it the first time I looked!

But thought of something- I feared taking care of this house and I don't want to be stuck with it for long because that is a huge stress to sell. BUT I made a list of all the things that stress me out about the house.

The yard is one so I am learning how to take care of it. The yard has soooooo many aspects to it.

Keeping it clean when I go back to work- hello- that is why they have cleaning services!! lol!

ok this is so airheadish of me- I am blushing- but figuring out how to set the thermostat! I want to learn without asking WH!!! and here are other embarrassing things I don't know YET-please don't make fun of me!:

need to learn how to turn off the main water line (is that even the right term?) in case a pipe bursts again

need to learn how to turn off the gas line

need to learn about the chimney and fireplace

need to learn what else I am overlooking!!!!!

My biggest fear is shared custody--and the future for my S growing up like this--but can't "see" it or "feel" it to tackle it....am meeting with my therapist next week to help me unblock that!

Oh and FM if you are reading this, I read about "The Work" in O magazine and thought of you! (since you have used it!) I don't get how to use it yet though.
