Hi NB,

So good to hear from you. I am glad you are okay.

Taking your time so you can get a few furniture items here and there is a good plan. Slow but steady. Will help keep your stress level down.

The emotional break was good for me. My brother and his darling pugs made me laugh.I am going to a pool party with my brother and his girlfriend this Thursday, should be FUN.

I agree- there is the fear of leaving , but there is also a sense of relief when we are apart from our H's too. A stranger has taken over their body, and it feels better not being around them.

The future most likely won't be "bad" for us. It will be different for awhile until we settle into our new routines and deal with the emotional losses.

Are you working? I think that is my biggest fear. Can I find a good job and make enough to support myself as I did before I was laid off.

I will absolutely see my own L. I will NOT sign anything until she reviews. The meeting tomorrow is a free consult H set up. We both can ask questions. H is aware my L ( I haven't hired her yet, but I will, not a worry), will review any and all docs. I am taking my time. I already told H that I am hoping to be healed well enough to leave early November, however, moving involves lifting and I will not jeopardize my new bionic hip, by leaving too soon. When we discussed the leg sep time frame, H admitted if I am still here end of Dec his darling daughter cannot stay here.So there you have it- truth of H's time line.

I am happily going about my business every day. H and I don't go anywhere together.He leaves and returns, no questions asked. H does ask me some questions about my appointments, etc. I am always vague.

I am keeping busy. I am getting moving van quotes, storage unit quotes, arranging staying with my brother as long as I need to, no time limit there. I am sending my resume out, making lists of everything I wish to take.

As I have stated on these boards, I get it, my M is over. But if need be I will say this to H and his L, " I do not like where this is going. I need time to think about this".

Hang in there. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts.

Be well ~
