AF August - Week 1

Good morning all
Enjoying my morning coffee with a cinnamon & raisin bagel here on the terrace, slept well but have no energy today, I think it's the heat, yesterday was 36c which I think is about 100f. I'm a bit worried about Lav, she didn't check in yesterday and it's not like her....
Lav I hope everything is ok.

AF August - Week 1

Hi Chill, Rusty, Rustop, Papmom, Mr. G, and Good morning all,

Yes, I have been concerned about Lav as well. She checks in daily, often twice. Sometimes we get busy though and just don't have the time for sitting in front of the computer. That was true for me yesterday.

I notice the summer is waning and I feel nostalgic and a little sad lately. I think I'll take some time today to plan a Fall garden project. Maybe that will help. I hope you are all well and have a good AF Sunday.

Good Morning Chill,

A cinnamon raisiin bagel? Ooohh, my favorite. 100 degrees-no wonder you have no energy. When do you hear from your lawyer about the alimony, Chill? Have you heard from your ex about that as well? I'm praying everything works out for you.

Today will be a work day for me.....I am giving a class next week and I have hours of preparation. But, it's supposed to rain all day so I might as well be inside!

To Lav-where are you? Dill, Sped, Spuddle, Rustop, Sooty, P3, Cyntree, a cheery AF hello to all of you!

Will check in later!

Hi Dill-Cross post! I know what you mean about summer winding down. It's back to school for you pretty soon, isn't it? I feel the same way.....September will bring on brutal travel weeks :-(

I hope everyone is well out there in MWO world.

AF August - Week 1

Hi Rusty - I need to get info out of my ex on all his investments & borrowings which he could drag his heals in giving me. Problem is although I'm legally entitled to this I'd need to take him to court if he refuses and although I'd win it could take a year here & the cost would be huge. Hopefully he will give me a response in next few days, I have begged him to reinstate my alimony but I suspect he really is in a financial mess. He invested our money in property and borrowed heavily to do so, now the property prices are down we have negative equity and he is struggling to make payments. He has a bar which is making money but a real estate co which is making huge losses. Anyway I'm not going to starve and thank God I'm not drinking I'd be struggling to buy all the wine I needed! :H

Hi Dill - time does seem to go so fast these days, there is a theory that the earth axle has sped up and we actually only have 18 hr days now! So every hr is only 40 mins but our clocks still play it out as 60 or something like that..... Sure feels like it.

Hi Chill-

I am so proud of you going through something as traumatic as this and yet you are doing it AF. I don't know if I would be as strong as you are if I were in your shoes. I admire you so much!

Must run now, will check in later.

Hi everyone

Chill - I admire you for being so strong. You will get through this ok.

Lav - Hope all is well with you, we are thinking of you.

Dill- I too have noticed that the summer is drawing to a close. The evenings have gotten much shorter. We used to have daylight until 10.30 p.m. and now it is getting dark at 9.30.

Rusty - I dont envy you your life on the road. Hubby has the same lifestyle and I know how challenging it can be.

Star, LBH, Sooty, Cyn, Papmom, Sped and everyone else big hello and enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Hope you get a chance to stop in soon, Lav, with all that is going on, you have our deep concern and support. For you also, Ms. Chill, I am glad that you were able to say what you needed to. Now you can increasingly discover your own employment, learn new work skills or the language, whatever is in your own power. You can always pursue it even if you do resettle yourself in another relationship; it is your freedom. Rebirth, I think you are still in India on your holiday; we miss your words here and wish you well. It is crazy around my house today although not emotionally, thank goodness. Yesterday and today, do-it-yourselfer Lord Bird Heart has been tearing down a half a wall (the other half will come down after he builds a new one) as we have envisioned taking out part of a long room and combining it with our tiny laundry area, adding a farm sink, etc. He is very dusty and clever. Meanwhile I moved fourteen plants in the garden including three large hydrangeas that turned out to require his assistance with the initial shoveling. I have lived alone most of my life and although we have been married for twelve years I don?t know if I shall ever be comfortable having a sense of dependency upon him for such things, there is always divorce, death, a lack of another?s will or health or solvency, any number of things that are part of life. I always have to remind myself that if he were not here to help, I could indeed come up with Plan B. Silly to worry about it now I suppose but it seems to be part of my character. On a fine note, I just took a glorious shower of the sort only appreciated by the hideously muddy. Busy day tomorrow with work but I need the money to pay for all the things that Lord Bird Heart does now but won?t after the (fill in the blank:H). Love you Dill, Rusty, Rustop, Shelley, Cyn, Sooty, Redstar et. al. Ladybird.

Hello friends,

Sorry about my sudden disappearance!!!!!

I ended up with two computers here totally locked up with some virus, syware, malware whatever.............
Guess who I called into action to fix this mess? He's the only one I know capable of working thru computer glitches - shame he can't apply the same tatics to his own problems :H

I hope everyone is OK this weekend & thanks for looking for me.
I'll be back later when my head stops spinning

Hi Lav-

Gosh, I'm glad you're back. We were all worried about you! I could just picture you confronting Mr. Lav wearing a hockey mask and carrying an axe! Well, at least he helped you with the computer. He should be good for SOMETHING!

Hi Rustop-good to hear from you, too.

Back to work. Now the sun's out. DAMN. It was raining before and I didn't mind working....so I guess I'll pout. Hahaha. Not really.

Hi Ladybird-great to see you. I love your posts!

Check in later!
