I'm stuck in the middle of an oxymoron. I am upset and frustrated that Mikal's divorce hasn't moved foward any in the last 6 months. He's no closer to being divorced now than he was 6 months ago. This is starting to bother me. I have thought long and hard about why, so I'll try to get it into words ( Read more... )

Looks like Mikal and I will take the day off tomorrow. Shhhh, don't let anyone else know. I feel like I've been stripped of everything that is a comfort to me over the past year and it's all coming down on me at once. Of course, I'm just tired as hell and am used to the ability to crash on the couch for the evening to recharge the batteries. Not ( Read more... )

I have finally made it back home - and I'm almost feeling well enough to enjoy it ( Read more... )

Actually, I haven't left my heart there. I did, however, almost leave my lunch. That has to be, by far, the smelliest damn city I've yet to encounter. Worse than Gary, Indiana. Let me tell you, I have seen more, heard more, and smelled more disturbing things since coming up here 2 weeks ago than I have in my whole life. Yucky-poo ( Read more... )

After my last posting which was heated and not of the best mood, I had a long talk with Mikal. He completely understood where I was coming from, and had opted NOT to rock the boat by calling or communicating with Dawn. Good boy. He spent the rest of the evening being sweet and buttering up to me. It was nice ( Read more... )

I'll try to make this as brief as possible, although I know me and know that it will be long ( Read more... )

As promised, here is the post-post post. No, the check didn't show up today, but we already knew that. Looks like it isn't going to show up tomorrow, either. Mikal, as usual, got pissy about it, and was in a horrible mood. That means he snaps at me when it's not warranted, so I just shut up and let the storm pass. It sucks that it's that way, but ( Read more... )

Last night while chatting with Mikal I am told that the check that has been promised to be here Wednesday will not be here until Thursday. And the day before that I was called a "pessimist" for predicting just that ( Read more... )

Thought I'd try journaling today, since there is so much on my mind that I can't seem to put into the proper place mentally ( Read more... )

Yesterday I found out that I have to get rid of my dog, Chippy. While I am trying my damndest to be optimistic, I'm having a hard time with it. I knew that it couldn't last forever, but I had hoped to sake through until the end of the lease ( Read more... )
