Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

Journaling:

Interesting topic in church led to an intersting discussion in church growth group Thursday night. Bullying. With social media, bullying just follows kids home now.

But the real revelation was that I have a couple of people in my high school past I really need to apologize to. I was not nice to them at all for really no reason. I was a social climber and left a few footprints along the way.

Just an observation.

Stuff is happening on the accident. The insurance company is preparing a settlement offer and I'm seeing an attorney just in case ... and I'm thinking about putting on the brakes because my neck is still hurting.

I'm going to see if I can get in to see a doctor this week.

My weekend with girls, but it's all messed up. D9 has strep throat. I was prepared to stay home with her Thursday but XW called and said she'd have problems staying home Friday because of meetings. So she came and picked D9 up and I went in to work Thursday, got everything done and stayed home today.

Some would say I'm being too accomodating, but it's in the best interests of the girls. D12 is staying at XW's tonight because my house is so small she'd be too exposed to D9 and her big party is next weekend.

I asked XW if she could watch D9 tomorrow night so I could take D12 to dinner as my birthday celebration. She said she had plans but would chip in for a sitter. Normally, she says yes and yes I wondered about the plans, but I didn't take her up on the sitter money. I don't need money from her. As far as I can tell, I'm in way better shape financially on about 40 percent (after child support) of her income. You'd laugh, I have this printout that I put on my refrigerator. It has a chart on my assets and debts, my balances on those, a 12 month line chart comparing my earnings to expenses, even a monthly minimum balance.

It's all about keeping me focused. It stares me in the face every time I get something to eat.

Today, I've done way too much sitting around. I know it's late, but I'm going to get out of this chair and do a workout before I come down with what D9 has.

Back on Match and saw someone I'd be interested in and sent an email. Then I scrolled down and saw "conservative." Sigh. Middle of the road is the farthest right I'd consider. Then again, if she's a conservative and sees "liberal" I doubt she'll respond anyway.

Happy Friday.
