I had a slight relapse the other day. I have a friend whose always been very supportive and positive, so I enjoy being around her. She's been through what we've all been through. After 23 years of marriage, her H told her that he was in love with someone else and left her. He cut her off cold turkey. He's now on wife #3. My friend is still healing after 4 years!
Anyway, she asked me if I had heard anything from my H. She knows about the letter I sent him, etc. She was very surprised that he had not called. Then she said it..."maybe he does have someone else." PUNCH IN THE GUT! Of course, that thought has crossed my mind, but to hear those words come out of my friend, OUCH! She didn't mean any harm and was just trying to make sense of all this. Later that evening, I was pretty bummed out. I had trouble sleeping, something I rarely have a problem with.
Anyway, I just got word from my sister that she and her family are staying in town for New Year's Eve (NYE). Earlier, they were going to Dallas to babysit their grandson but those plans have been nixed. I'm a little relieved because for the first time, I was facing spending NYE alone.
Changing the subject, I have to tell you that the main reason this thread caught my attention is because one of our local newscasters, Dan Cook, is credited of coining the phrase, "The opera ain't over until the fat lady sings."
I live in San Antonio, and last (NBA) season, we were wondering if our beloved San Antonio Spurs were going to make it to the championships. When they started really screwing up, my sis sent me and my siblings an e-mail titled, "Uh Oh, the fat lady is warming up." So, when I read the title of your thread, I just had to chuckle and click on it, and I'm glad I did. You've been so much help to me .
Going back to the dreaded subject, I still have not read the summons. It's sitting on my dresser. I've sort of skimmed through it, but that's it. I cannot bring myself to read it--I'm just going to wait until I consult a lawyer.
May the new year bring good health, happiness and laughter to you and everyone on these boards.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
All my best, alamogirl
