Dnj,

Thank you. I wasn't concerened about standing longer than MLC, I was concerned that I, would be "Standing for nothing" You got me.

You understand what I am feeling as well as you explained the definition of standing and how it can take many forms in the end game.

During these last 17 months, I have come so far. I thought I was "independent" a few months after, and now I see how this situation has really changed me and how I choose to stand. It is a lot more than I thought I could handle.

H still is not home. It is a little after 4:00 pm here. I can tell he has been looking at social media, so I don't know if he is on his way home or if he just had a break and thought to look and see what is going on. Not knowing has been a bit freeing as since I don't know, I am doing my own thing and he is not in the back of my mind as, "I wonder if he will want to eat when I cook" I wonder.... (Fill in the blank)

I can't do things even with him in mind since who knows if or when he will be back? So this is an interesting development for me.

I just want you, Peacetoday and sage and any others that have chimed in on this latest wrinkle to know how helpful this all is.
