Job, thanks. You are so kind and always have a good advice. The storage shed can probably be repaired. The top part of it looks pretty solid. It also sits on a huge concrete block, so getting rid of the whole thing will probably cost me more money. I looked at it yesterday and I think the only things that need to be replaced are the side boards and the door. I will see if I can get an estimate on this.

And the yard looks like a disaster anyway. Some bold spots where the grass used to be, due to the sprinklers not working as good anymore and the water restrictions that we have here. And there is some other stuff that needs to be taken care off, sigh…

I don’t even attempt to clean the garage yet. Most of the stuff is actually on the shelves. H did some clearing a couple of times before the BD, so it is not that bad. It is bad though comparing to my sister’s garage. Her H has little skills of fixing stuff and doing home projects, so they don’t have what I have in my garage, like boxes of nails, calking hits, painting stuff, tools, instruments, etc. To her, it is all junk and I need to get rid of it.

Yes, I know that my family wants me to move on. I just don’t think that the D is going to make it for them. Even if I D my H, I will still have the issues with the garage and sheds and stuff… So I can see that they will move on to the next subject of me dating somebody and having a man in my life to help with all that stuff, so they would not have to listen to me. I just don’t understand what prompted her to tell me what she did. When I go to their house I don’t even mention if I had a bad day or not in a good mood. I always go there with a positive attitude and actually listen to their complaints about their lives. This is why I was super p!ssed when I was listening to her spill about me feeling sorry for myself.

Job, thanks again for your advice. It does help to calm thoughts down and look at things with a different prospective, even though it seems like I’m not following all of it.
