Hi RIF,

Holding it together fairly well. I packed up some more mementos and managed not to lose it. It was close, though. I packed up all of our wedding memorabilia that we had in our living room in a display case.

Bouquets, my shoes, the pillow, cake topper, etc.

Okay, so you can play rhythm guitar. Miss M can play bass...let's see... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hope your day is going well. I might try to sleep soon. I'm trying not to think too much about Mr. Gray. I will find out tomorrow when he is going to come here for his stuff. I hope it is soon so I can give him the PBL.

You're in! You can be the head roadie that wears the glass slippers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey Charlotte,

My Texas watch says that it's 0025 in the morning... I hope you get some good rest tonight!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hi RIF,

I did! I actually had some pleasant dreams for a change!

TTFN,

Charlotte

It's great that you had pleasant dreams Charlotte. I wish I could get there but I sleep quite poorly these days. Hard to sleep when you have all sorts of feelings pullin in different directions.

Well, I finally had a good conversation with my dad yesterday.

When I started exposure I was working down the list but my sister knew what I was doing so she called and told him about it first.

I talked him on Halloween but not much. My stepmom called me not long after and we talked a long time. She told me he was uncomfortable talking about such a serious matter.

Well, I guess he had time to internalize things so we talked
for quite a while.

He mentioned a guy they work with that started and affair with a coworker and the methods his wife used sounded a lot like MB methods. I asked him about that but he wasn't sure. So maybe she is or was on this site before.

I am waiting right now for my Doberman to call me about the lawsuit. He is in court today so I may not hear from him until tomorrow. That's okay, though. I have until Monday to formulate some kind of response.

Hi 411!

Haven't seen you around lately. Hope your doing okay!

I know, I am surprised I was able to sleep through the night. I guess it was just all of the activity of walking around hunting for the perfect tree with my mom and friends yesterday.

The usual: "How 'bout this one?"

"Yes, but...too short, too fat, too tall, too bald, etc!!!"

It was fun and Mrs. Claus was on the premises so that was cool.

Thanks for asking Charlotte ....

This was a bad weekend for me. My psych diagnosed me with Bipolar II which wasn't a shock but my symptoms were mild throughout my life. She also suggested that I take medical leave and go into a two intensive therapy program for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

On top of this I was missing my Ex like crazy and wanted to call her to explain that my Bipolar II was large cause of my lack of initiative. However thankfully my parents talked me out of it.

You, James and the erst of posters here help me stay sane and realize that the waywards do not deserve our time and effort.

Hi 411,

I'm sorry to hear about your weekend and your medical news. If you decide to do the intensive therapy, are you going to have to be somewhere on site or would you be commuting for the sessions?

The package hasn't moved and nary a peep from Mr. Gray, either. No word on when he's coming to get his stuff from Mr. Mudd, either. They never called my Doberman back.

I'm starting to re-think contacting him about the package. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It's his [censored]. I tried to save it.

My dad thinks I oughta let it ride, too. So I'm still thinking about it.

I guess Plan B is kinda of a moot point as far as he's concerned. He's Plan B-ing me. He probably won't ever talk to me again.

So whatever. I'll go through the motions of Plan B and that's it. He can self-destruct or grow his nads back.

Evening Charlotte!!!

Yep, don't give the package any more thought... you've done your part...

I'll be out for a bit today, but I'll check back in with you later on... hopefully, you'll be able to sleep this evening!

Semper Fi,

RIF

Hi RIF!

Thank you! You and Big K and everyone else are all correctomundo! I HAVE done my part.

I'll only think about it when it shows back up here...I'm assuming that will be the case now. So I'll take it to my Doberman and let him handle it.

There's no way in heck I'm going to hand it over to Mr. Gray when he shows up to get his stuff. I don't want to be anywhere near him when he opens that thing!

Sleep...ah, I hope so. I'm still trying to make heads and tails of this madcap stacked tower of radios and related items so the lady won't get buried under it tomorrow when she comes for the inventory!

Furthermore...

He would've never been busted to begin with had he not made the decision to start an affair. He wouldn't have been out pilling and drinking it up with her and he would have made it home safely.

He never made that connection, though. Of course.

Well, he's gonna have to throw himself in front of the court and beg for mercy on this one. I've had it with his games. Who was that the other day asking me if I was going to follow him around and wipe up his messes?

Bellevue?

Well, you're right, dangit! I'm not gonna do that anymore. It's time for him to suck it up and act like an adult. Instead of some crybaby throwing a tantrum.

Looks like I done growed ma own set of nads.

Well, if Mr. Gray is nice enough he can borrow them. He sure doesn't have any anymore. Coward!

<waves>

Hi Big K!!!!!! <shouting>

<and waving back excitedly>

Good job, Charlotte. You don't want to enable him. Let the OW take over that role.

Commuting 9-4 5 days a week then 3 months of one night a week. It's all good. I need to be on meds which is something I don't like but I'd rather be on meds than function at 70% of my full capabilities.

You're doing great Charlotte. Let Mr. Gray deal with his own mess otherwise he'll keep taking you for granted.

Let him self-destruct. That's how the A's usually end. He's got to hit rock bottom in a bad way.

Perhaps some time in the slammer might straighten out Mr. Gray.

As I said keep up the great work Charlotte. Each day is a struggle but each day seems to be great progress for you.

Thanks believer!

I feel a lot better about the whole thing now!

It just took a "little" nudging from all you guys!

It's the right thing to do. I can see that now.

He really needs to deal with it. I didn't even have to send the darn thing, he's the one that forgot!

My butt is covered nine ways to Sunday...there's no way that this can be skewed to get me in some kind of trouble in any way.

A'course he'll be mad...but he can only really be mad at himself for forgetting and Slag for not picking up her slimy mail.
