So today I get an email from STBXH. He is sending me a job listing for a nice job that pays really good. One that I am sure I don't qualify for, despite my time in the military.

What is his message here? Get a good job so I don't have to pay you so much spouse support? Get a good job so you can stay on the island and don't take my grandchildren and children away?

I will apply for the job. But doubt I will be considered qualified, the GS system is different!

Then over dinner, he wanted to talk about what furniture and beer mugs he would take. He originally said he didn't want anything. So I pointed put specifically mugs with his name on them and asked did he want me to give those to one of our sons. He said he liked them. There are 3 sets of his and hers mugs with our names on them. It feels like you take the pepper I'll take the salt. But so be it.....

Then I said I wanted the formal dining room set and he could have the kitchen set. He said "But you love the kitchen set." I said "Well I love the dining room set, too. It has more display area and I will need that. And I won't have room in whatever house I go to for both. And besides that, what are you going to use?"

He agreed that a table to eat off would be nice.....

I have begun to realize I am way to attached to my things and really don't need so much crap!
