Got a message from EXH the beginning of this week to tell me he would pick up all his belongings today and tomorrow morning.
I briefly answered "OK", his reply "Was not a question"...LOL

So today, when we were all out of the house, he came and picked up his stuff. I was not surprised to see that all the wine was gone (we have (should write "had" now) a wine cellar with about 50 bottles in it) and he took all of it, even the wine racks, as well as his favorite beer glasses. Must be the most important thing he had to take with him. He can have it, the addiction can continue.

That, his clothes, and work related stuff are also gone. I'm curious what he will take tomorrow. His bike, golf sticks, tennis bag and ski equipment are still here. I hope he will take those as well, so I don't have to take care of that anymore when I move out.

In the meantime the kids are doing so well. Since EXH is gone again and because they now they don't have to see him currently you clearly notice that the burden has fallen from their shoulders.

S17 is celebrating his "last 100 days" in high school (I think you all call it that) this week.
He is having the time of his life. He was already dressed like a maffia man, a scottish man (with the skirt), ABBA, and tonight is the big party. I took a picture of him every morning with his costume on.

Twins14 had their first meeting with a therapist and were both excited to go.
Afterwards they told me in detail how it went, they both want to go again so this is going in the positive direction.

Their grades are going in a better direction.

I also went again to a female therapist for the first time yesterday. Not the same person I saw straight away after BD, I've decided to go to someone else. I really had a very good feeling. Went to her once a few months ago, now I've decided to go once a week. Not to talk about EXH anymore, but to face my difficulties and to deal with those.

This Friday I have an appointment for a possible new house (still to be built) and on Saturday also 1 appointment (already excisting house). I can't buy yet because I will only now for sure that our house is sold by the end of this month but want to check out some things already to learn what is on the market and at what rates.

Tomorrow GAL night with a very good male friend to a fancy restaurant, on Sunday morning big walk planned with a close girlfriend.

I wish you all a very nice and hopefully sunny weekend!
