More points to ponder...

[wishing, hoping]

Hey KML.

I do have a lot of friends. But most of my "pre-marital" friends are back in Indiana. It's hard to get back there often because of the kids' schedules and now my car is not too reliable so I don't drive there often. I do have lots of work friends and friends I have met through the years and I am trying to get new friends through church.

I talk to friends often on the phone but it is hard to connect with busy schedules, etc. I haven't hosted anything at my place yet because of everything going on but once things are final I am having a party. You bet. I am trying to save money so I have put a hold on going out to lunch and happy hours with friends for now. I do have lots of good friends, but I just don't talk about them too much. I do have a great single friend. She was friends with H long before I knew him. It really torks H off that she is still close to me. She thinks he is an absolute @$$ now. He texted her a few months ago and "shamed" her for dismissing their long, established friendship and believing my lies. But she lives in another state and works in healthcare so her work hours are crazy. We are trying to plan a getaway for this summer.

I will check out the "Penny Hoarder". I think I am doing good. It's just easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed. It's part of my anxiety. I am focusing on saving and paying down debts a little at a time until I get a good savings established.

And yes, it is good that H directs his anger at my attorney. Of course that doesn't stop him from lecturing me about it. I try to tell H to talk to the attorney, not me. But he doesn't listen. So I try not to listen either. I need to let it roll off me more. Like water off a quack's back.
