Tipping things....

It's a lazy bright and clear Labour Day Monday. The place is still pretty quiet and it's 10 AM. The dog had us all up at 4 AM as he decided he needed to go out. Rebel Jr was still up as her and older one had a conversation and woke me up as well.

The weekend was pretty uneventful. I picked up a bunch of books about mediation at the library but haven't been able to sit and go through them to provide a short review of what I found. It's coming! really!


Rebel and I went to see the final show of Wicked! last night with friends. I enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first. Rebel had read the book while in the hospital so she knew the story. We had a good time. Interesting thing with Rebel, regardless of where we go - she will run into someone she knows. It happens all the time. In fact, I wait for it. We ran into someone she used to work with at the mall when I took her shopping for clothes and we ran into old friends from high school at the theatre. She has quite a network
.

S-I joint is still a little sore. I still have to be very careful how I move. I am going out of town on business for a week in two weeks and hope I am much improved. I'm already thinking how I need to pack light - and not because of the airlines but because of my own issues. Carrying my library books home from the library became an issue so a suitcase is beyond belief!


SU is doin not much as usual. I notice the garage is a whole lot cleaner than it has been in years. The girls tell me he keeps resurrecting his idea of turning the garage into a family room and knocking out a few walls. WhatEvEr.


I still go to and fro on the stay in the house leave the house I figure I'll wait til I do the pros and cons with the financial specialist. I've also applied for two jobs, both of which pay more than I currently earn, one substantially more. That might tip things too.

Glad you're feeling better.

Mu ex was like that too. No matter where we'd go, someone knew him.

I don't know, I guess it could go a couple of ways. He could be cleaning and sorting to move out or he could be cleaning to resurrect the den idea to keep the house or he could be cleaning to sell the house. Too bad he doesn't put that effort into cleaning the living space in the mean time :-P

Sorry to hear the S-I is still sore but then I guess that it is only a little sore is an improvement.

stay vs leave - I stayed and (I don't think) I didn't have any problems. Others have told me that they moved right away to put any connections with the past life behind them. There is also the continuity of life for the kids. That however, isn't necessarily tied to the house. St. Karo said her kids told her that the time they spent in her apartment (when she and ex swapped on the house) was more like home for them then when dad was in possession of the house.

Good luck on the job hunt. I have been keeping my eyes out for something myself and have engaged in a plan for moving.
