Journaling: Thursday I received notice of a registered letter awaiting pickup at the post office. Reading the notice caused me to contemplate the rollercoaster run again.”WTF the judgment went in 10 days ago. We’re D’ed! I’m being summoned again???” So for two days I waited to pick up the letter. I wasn’t going to let it affect me. I would pick up the letter in my own time on Saturday! No turns out the city is advising me by letter I need to install sidewalks before September 30th. Pretty anticlimactic. The stint stewing lasted about 15 min Thursday afternoon until I decided to take control of myself.
Saturday I did mundane chores around the house and some prep work for the backyard barn and deck projects. These cannot begin in earnest until after my budget shakes out, but in the meantime I can clear the ground and accomplish layout work.
Saturday a national hardware chain was giving away a free quart of paint in exchange for contact information. My daughter and I took advantage of this. Looks like the upstairs bathroom will get a coat of paint soon. One half gallon might cover it if it gets a coat of primer first. We’ll see.
Sunday the dog and I participated in Paws for a Cause. It was in support of a local shelter. I think he got more out of it than I did. It was another opportunity to socialize him. He did very well. Sunday night I attended a movie with my daughter, SIL2 and SIL1’s son.
SIL2 alluded to XW creating more angst over the family maintaining contact with me. I told her I was sorry it was continuing and that for my own peace I would rather not discuss it. IDK how this will turn out. It is a shame as XW was very close to her sisters and her actions are driving them further away.
I visualize an old phonograph, the recording has ended and the stylus is skipping. XW needs to reset the stylus or change the platter.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
