So, another lesson in remembering that we can't mind read.
OF COURSE X's letter was just business! Not quite instructions on the sewer system, but...I figured with the business size envelope and what looked like print out (not handwritten) it probably wasn't going to be an outpouring of grief and remorse and what not.
Anyhow, I took LFA's advice and brought it to my counselor. All it was, was a check made out to both of us from the bank, for $18.12, some overpayment as we closed out the loans.
I had gotten the same thing back in May, for $69.00. I decided it wasn't worth $34.40 to sign it; send it to him; he signs it;deposits it; sends me my half. The check is still sitting on my desk.
But I guess X is better about being upright and forthright with $, so he signed the check that the bank sent to him, and sent it to me. I deposited it, and sent a check for $9.06 to him. No note.
He included a note that said.."blah blah bank, etc. (almost signed, scratched out) "hope your having a good summer" X.
Oh, I'm having a GREAT summer, dear! Thanks for asking! so sweet of you to care!
Now should I send on the check for $69?? if I do it now, he will see that I was holding out $35.00 that is legally his....
At any rate, I am going to buy myself $9.00 worth of VS undies! (and yes, you can get at least one lacy something for that!)
More later--doing OK--big transition time--coming up on the One Year Mark.
