Hi KML,

I haven't....but will. I am no longer in control of money. I need to save up a little stash. I have been in the middle of planning my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party which is next month. It has kept me very busy and distracted from all of my real life stuff. Just got back from a trip to Tahoe with H and D19. Love it there...but H worked just about every day. I know that it is "good", seeing that he hasn't really worked prior to May for over a year, but he even flew from Reno to Tahoe and back to Reno on one of the days for a business meeting. He worked at least 4 hours every day while there, and wasn't very engaging. Even D19 noticed and kept nagging him (glad is wasn't me!) haha. We did kayak, bike and hike as a family so that was nice.

So...just kind of waiting until after all of our east coast company comes and leaves, and the big 50 party is over!

Sometimes I find that if I just sweep it under the carpet in my brain, that I can get through each day, and pretend that everything is normal. Then...from time to time....it all just comes creeping (rushing) back in, and all of those same horrible feelings surface. Not a single day goes by when I don't think about it. So then I try to read uplifting, self help stuff to help get me through.

Our 24th wedding anniversary is coming up next week. I remember posting here prior to our 20th.
