I had a figure before we moved. But, now that we are here, she has shown to be a great help when it comes to grocery shopping, meal planning and cooking. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without her this past month.
I need that to continue. I'm willing to adjust her monthly rent to accommodate this help.
Not having to worry about cooking/planning healthy meals for D12 has taken a huge load off my shoulders.
I'm open to suggestions.
By-the-by, I feel better today. I finished my column this morning. Working on tweaking another story. I may just be in the best position yet for this week's paper. I didn't make it to church, but was more concerned about maintaining the writing momentum I had going this week.
Also, I never mentioned that I sent an email to my atty. As opposed to paying for another phone call. I replied to his voicemail by letting him know that I can't come up with a repayment schedule for him, for the remaining $1,500 I owe him until he can give me some idea of when temp support will kick in.
One of the reasons, I made the last minute effort to pay him and file for divorce was because he assured me that filing before I left was my only choice when it came to asking for temp child support AND temp alimony.
I think yesterday's doing NOTHING really helped me.
Had some dreams about Smokey. Two nights in a row. Painful dreams about his abandonment of me, me still waiting for him to return...still holding out hope and feeling sad because he doesn't. I did have a bright spot in last night's dream where my drug-addicted bil made peace with me and invited me to his wedding. (As far as I know, he isn't engaged)...but, it was nice to have this person, who was an enemy to my family for so long-because of his own terrible drug addiction--reach out--even in a dream to make peace. That was nice.
