Good morning all,

It's my favorite part of the day, when no one is up but me. I make a big pot of coffee (my one vice) and read, do my devotions, and sometimes get online. On a weekday I usually shower and dress early too in case I get called in to be a sub. teacher.

No teaching today though. Today I have a real estate closing to go to. We have sold one of the rental properties that we owned together with some friends.

I shouldn't really say "we" as only H's name and the other H's name appear on the title. H has surprisingly consented to giving me his power of attorney. These are the friends that helped me move H out last April and my H has yet to face them, he actually bears them a great deal of ill will.

His discomfort over the thought of seeing them has evidently overridden his desire to get his grubby little paws on the check. I am planning on using the $ to pay some bills, but I may be in for a fight here as he says he has bills to pay also.

The last time I was feeling generous I gave him the check that represented some $ we were owed from a friend because a stereo we lent him ended up getting stolen. And H promptly sent the $ off to OW.

At any rate this is one more entanglement that we are getting out of, simplifying the process if/when it comes to a D. We have several other pieces of real estate that are currently for sale.

have a good day,

Pam
