I can't tell everyone how VERY much your encouragement has meant to me today. You all understand more than anyone else possibly can exactly what it feels like to be on this rollercoaster. Bless you all! If it is true that the MLCer feels more pain than we do, I can't imagine what that would feel like.
I am a couple days behind in responding to previous posts..........Please be patient with me. I have a partially completed response that I hope to finish tonight. In particular, Sanderika, I thank you more than I can convey for your generous sharing and encouragement.
I am posting now to let everyone know that XH replied to my e-mail at around 5pm today. As a reminder, here's the email I sent last night....
GAG: "Hey, Sorry if I wasn’t quite as much fun tonight as I normally am. Clinic revenues are down and I’m being hit with a lot of repair bills. I could really use a diversion to recharge my batteries and I bet you could too. You’ve been a wonderful son to your mother, but having a sick parent would take a toll on anyone. Any chance I could interest you in going out to have some fun? GAG"
Mr. GAG? "Hey ….Crazy day here!! Oh, you were fun….FUN to BEAT UP ON!! :O) But I know that there will come a time soon that the scales will tip to your favor…you are certainly improving! As far as fun outings, I will know tomorrow what the weekend holds for me and will toss some options out….I am assuming you mean this weekend sometime? Sorry to hear about clinic revenues up and down……but what a difference THIS job is compared to THAT other job!! Off I go…. Mr. GAG"
Soooooooo..........knock me over with a feather!!!!! I think this is the first time since last July that XH has accepted an invite from me that wasn't dinner after TT........and prior to December his acceptances were always guarded. His response to this invite sounds pretty normal. It's also noteworthy that he suggested getting together this weekend. I don't think he would have suggested the weekend if GF#2 was still in the picture.
