Haven't felt too well and just haven't accomplished much.
I have brushed the shelties a few times and I did go out to dinner with T and M last night. We had fun but I was so tired I was sort of not in the conversation at the end of the evening.
Hopefully will get caught up on rest, feel better and start this next week off with a bang.

Dad brought my van back Wednesday evening with a new battery in it and we think that was the problem.
I stopped at hardware store and picked up a new furnace filter and some light bulbs for my hall light.
Dad put my new filter in for me and helped me rearrange the garage a bit. After he left I kept working on it and was finally able to get both the van and car inside. Very tight squeeze, but at least in out of the frost, snow and other lovely weather.

(((psluke))) long time no hear Just a thought about the goals: we all know that starting to do things where you haven't done them before or not the extent that you are now planning to do them is not easy. So instead of focusing ont he fact that you haven't brushed your dogs 3 times a week as promised, focus on the fact that you ARE brushing them at all. Write down all the things that you are doing that bring you closer to your goals. The year just started. No one expects you to just jump into the goals and have it down perfectly. It takes time - baby steps. Start small and when you comfortable increase in quantity. That's what I'm doing. Feel better! I'll be thinking of you!
psluke It's on the infidelity forum. It's called "I'm not WAITING anymore". Go catch up! I'm off for now - going home to grab paperwork and off to see my L. Wish me luck!
Saturday morning I just couldn't get motivated to go to class, I think because I couldn't decide whether to take Tara to try the agility class or not. Then I was going to have to shuffle the vehicles to get the van out of the garage.
I finally did go arriving about a half hour late. That was right at the half time break so I didn't interrupt the class. I decided FB needed the socializing whether I had worked him or not. I hadn't.
I took Tara but wasn't sure if I would or would not stay for the agility class. I ended up doing so, had a good time, got some great exercise, and at the end Tara seemed to be picking it up pretty good.
After class was over a lady I talk to some was in the next class so visited with her and found out some of the folks from this area may be going to the Sheltie Nationals in April. At least there would be people there I know if I go.
Something happened to my van. I can't think I ran over something and didn't feel it, but the running board on the passenger side is split and pulled down a bit. My dad might have done it while he had it but don't want to say anything to him as he has already helped me out so much.
This coming Saturday FB has a 10:00 obedience class, Tara the 11:30 agility class and then we drive to another location and Shara has a 2:30 herding lesson. I am going to be wiped out! Have to get into better shape to keep up with the kids.

Saturday night was our dog training club's awards dinner. Normally it is at a restaurant in Louisville. This year they held it at a restaurant here in IN close to the river.
The evening was definitely rough for me, I didn't feel like going and facing the two of them yet so I opted out. But I also felt resentful, angry, betrayed feelings again. Discussed that with my C last night. She said the feelings I am describing to her and the times I am feeling them that I am definitely on the right path to get this processed and move forward without the baggage this time. I have progresssed to the point I don't think of them often unless something like this comes up that sort of throws it into my face. I am very glad of that, all it does is mess my mind up when this Cr*p comes up.
T called and invited me to a celebration dinner for S because he is starting a new job. I asked if ok to invite M and he said sure, so M and I went to dinner.
They ended up though with the smokers all sitting at another table so M, another lady and I sort of had a table to ourselves and we were out of the conversation loop with the rest of the group.
It was still sort of fun but not great. May have partially been my mood since I was struggling already.

E-mail I am thinking of sending to D. Any thoughts for me?
Hello David,
I have been thinking and based on the feelings you expressed in our last conversation with one another, I feel it might be difficult for you to work with me on PK.
I know you did not want to buy me out, but would you be interested in paying me a set amount, small part now and bulk payable when something is done with the house? If we agreed upon an amount I am to receive, then you would be able to do as little or as much to the house as you have an interest in doing.
That way we wouldn't need to work together on it as I would give up my say, based on my receiving a set amount rather than a percentage of the equity.

spoke with my friend about your L situation (asking for more money). She said that you should just call her up and find out what changed and prompted her to send you a bill. She said it will be the easiest and the most direct way to straighten it out. L's tend to be busy and sometimes they forget things that are now written down but juggle their memories and they will be first ones to admit to their mistake (the whole scale and justice thing?). If that doesn't work, let me know what the conversation was like and my friend said she'll try to help more at that time.
