Your pool sounds awesome, **swampy**. Our communityā€™s just got uncovered and is still empty with old leaves in the bottom. Itā€™s a regular chlorinated pool, not a cool ionozing pool. šŸ˜ƒ Youā€™re the second person to mention brownies. (The other person was a coworker via IM.) Iā€™m starting to be inspired. But maybe tomorrow 'cause tonight is goin-out-for-greasy-pizza-night. This is different from going-out-for-gourmet-pizza-night. Both are good, but itā€™s a greasy pizza kind of night. ---

ā€¦ and heā€™s gone. Soon-to-be-ex dropped off my van and the keys. He got his sunglasses from the apartment. I hugged him goodbye and teared up a little. Heā€™s really a nice person. But he wasnā€™t mature enough to be a good husband. I truly hope he gets himself together. Sadly, I fear he never willā€¦ ---

Well, Iā€™m only easy for one person. šŸ˜‰ Itā€™s his fault. He makes me be that way. Ok, I made brownies. From a mix. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a mix. Thatā€™s how I roll brownie wise. I put chopped pecans in 'em. I made a double batch even. I will take some to Sunday brunch along with the baked **N.O.T.** sallit. ---

Iā€™m in awe of your professional development, **Soapy** ā€¦ šŸ˜‰ Back from dinner with the girl. We had some yummy messican food with enough left over for lunch tomorrow. And we talked. She seems to have her head on straight, and she intends to enjoy being a single adult for a while. Good for her! \*\*FCD \*\*is still in bed, sick and ick. Poor babyā€¦ I think I need some quality knitting time. So I shall log off. See ya tomorrow! _ **MWAH!!** _ ---

Congrats on developing professional **Soapy**. Some people do such things in such unprofessional ways. Iā€™m glad you were couth about it. šŸ˜ƒ Itā€™s a rainy night in Jawja. Well, in south Jawja anyway. I have also been informed that I am beinā€™ taken out to Ryanā€™s for breakfast in the morninā€™. Ryanā€™s is classy. They have an omelette makinā€™ station.

Ok, so I havenā€™t had internet for 2 days. Last week it was one day. Iā€™m starting to have feelings for the Comcast guy. :rolleyes: Letā€™s hope itā€™s FIXED now. Busy day off, got the list dented, but not the back broken, if you follow me. Tomorrow is soccer, removing rust from an old milk canister and more annuals planting. I have a 3 day weekend (now down to 2ā€¦ boo) Didnā€™t readā€“trying to catch up with everything else. #1 son accepted the offer from Colorado! He is Boulder bound come fall. Itā€™s effing expensive, too, so weā€™re taking it one year at a timeā€¦ Hope everyoneā€™s Friday was decent. ---

Glad everything worked out **FCM!** Iā€™m all hormonal and down. I didnā€™t get up until 3:30 today - my sleep schedule is all screwy, coupled with stress and a general dislike of getting up. The spring dance is tonight and I shall be wearing kimono! Weā€™ll see what kind of reactions I get. I wish I wasnā€™t still on my period though. But I have to get to work. Iā€™m trying to finish up stuff for one class and pick up my room before the dance. Oh and one of my suitemates is in the bathroom with a friend. Iā€™m wondering if theyā€™re going to have another 4 hour session. Seriously, how can you spend four hours in the bathroom? 30 minutes for a shower, 15 minutes for your makeup, maybe another 15 for your hair. What more can you do? ---

Hi guys! So much has been happening, some of it horrible, some of it only awful, and enough bright spots to keep me as sane as I will ever be. I shall only hit the high (ha) spots to get yā€™all updated. I am still not un-married. (many strong expletives to be inserted here) I just want it over. I tried to hold a failed marriage until I caught him in (another) long term extramarital affair, this time with a married woman, so I am just comforting myself with thoughts of what goes around comes around. He is deliberately working a minimum wage job so he doesnā€™t have to pay either child or spousal support. (more strong expletives) Yeah, mr. big shot fisherman is making pizza and subs, go him. :rolleyes: He is asking for joint custody of The Son, which is a laugh as all The Son wants to do is dig a hole, put the jerk in it, and roll a boulder on top of the hole. My boy will be 18 in January, and if we need to he will emancipate himself rather than have to deal with, well, I need to find a word to refer to him without saying his name or relation to my kids. (My son and he share the same name.) My son wants to ā€œkeep and redeem the first name, as it is a good nameā€ but he wants to change his last name to my maiden name. I just want the mess over with so I can move on. Unlike him, I donā€™t believe that adultery is an okay thing. Which brings me to the next interesting thing, I have two suitors! Lol, how funny is that! Fat old gramma that I am, it both touches me and cracks me up! I like them both, and each has qualities I admire, but I think it is a mistake to jump from one relationship into another, so we will see if either has the stamina to wait until I am ready to have a ā€œboyfriendā€. Does one call a guy in a relationship such as this a boyfriend when one is past 50 and a gramma? Weird. One is 57 with 6 year old twins and a horrible, evil ex-wife; the other is 40, kids are grown-ish and he doesnā€™t want any babies. The first one wants me to move to California, the other wants me to travel with him. Guess which one I am leaning towards? šŸ˜ƒ Back to reality, my mother has taken herself off of the donor list and has decided to let The Almighty decide when itā€™s her time to go Home. Having researched a transplant paitientā€™s quality of life post-surgery I canā€™t say that I blame her, itā€™s just difficult dealing with momā€™s mortality. Right now her liver functions are stable, but the doctor has given her a one to ten year prognosis , and I hate that. I want to go see her soon. Younger brother #1 has advanced in his self-mutilation from cutting up his arms to a recent cutting of his throat. Younger brother #2, recently released from a long term in a Federal Penitentiary is, once again, on the lam. Not much to say about that, other than it hurts my heart. The final bit of news will have to wait until my divorce is final, but a big hint is that most of my immediate needs will not be an issue again. Spring is waking up in Kodiak, two more Springs and then I am outta here. I just donā€™t know where to relocate this time. Someplace warm is high on my agenda. Well, sorry for the long post, but itā€™s been a while. Good thing I gave you the condensed version or I would get no response beyond tldr. Happy Firday all yā€™all! ---

I walked there (because itā€™s just over a block away) and then took a bit of a walk on the way home to make up for the extra calories. Am now considering what to do with my evening. Need to do more laundry, I think, but will probably also read some more or knit or something. Happy Firday Night, everyone!!! GT ---
