I had a nice weekend with s13. No problems. He did find a new show to start watching – ‘Cat-fishing’, which is about people who think an internet romance may not be with a real person. And the show’s investigators find out the fake person In the couple of shows I’ve seen, they are despicable people. And the truth is discovered.

I had a couple of ‘triggers’ over the weekend. W sent me a receipt by email which was from om as we try and assemble receipts as we deal with essentially a tax audit. The receipt had his full name and address and with this I did some checking on him – he has 2 recent dui’s, incl. 1 this past June. He was divorced (w/ children) over 10 years ago – and had 2 violations of his Order for Protection. Also a conviction for Disorderly Conduct. He also has a sizeable judgment against him. He’s just someone I don’t want around my kids. BTW, the searches are on a free website I've learned from my job over the years - no creepy stalking going on.

Also, d18 told me W and d18 were going away overnight with one of W’s female friends. W called me over the weekend and I mentioned her getaway, and she said this fell thru. And she also mentioned she was going out to see “a friend’s” new puppy. I don’t know why this still gives me a flash/trigger of jealousy. But this was over in a few minutes.

W tried reaching out to me, texting me during the season opener for “Bachelor in Paradise” (we liked watching last season’s "Bachelorette" show and would text each other during the show.) But I shut this down, I am enjoying ‘Big Brother’ instead.

Fantasy Football is starting up. I am having lunch later this week with one of the co-owners for our team. Otherwise, all is calm.
