I am with family now. Driving on 2.5 hours of sleep is not recommended. But I made it here safely. I still get small urges but there are distractions. I slept okay but still feel groggy. Will take it easy today. Called the L and made my point. My heels are dug into the ground. I am taking a stand. It isn't about the material things. I have had enough of the h interpreting the law his way to work in his favor. I have done the honorable thing so far. I will no longer put up with his BS. If he wants to take all of these gifts back then it goes both ways. Every piece of stemware given to him by me belongs to me (according to his definition). Every watch, bottle of wine, rare scotch, and that iPhone case belongs to me. Two can play that game but I didn't.
Breathe. Deep breaths. Eyes closed. "greatness is not a function of circumstance. It is largely a matter of conscious choice and discipline." "whether you prevail or fail, it depends on what you do to yourself, and not what the world does to you."
