Hey Trinity, carly, Lilly, Lola, stopdog, silent, TTGB, MKAC, hank...did I forget anyone?

I only worked 3 hours today. Home now, plan to eat lunch, go lay out in the yard so my tan doesn't fade, then take a nap. I am exhausted.

I worried about the mama too. It's easy to find homes for puppies, but not adult dogs. An employee of mine does animal rescue and says that puppies are always adopted.

We just broke up and I'm really high right now. Sorry.

like as in split....?

My partner came home last night singing the same ole song and dance about breaking up....funny it happen right after i blew all my "escape" money... been giving her money for the kids and grands and her all month and now..no money, and she rethinking us... I am in a weird place, manic maybe , hell i don't know... had an offer to go away for the weekend, maybe i should do that but shes been gone a week...but i will not be able to handle her on again off again emotional roller coaster she keeps putting me on....Ugggggg

i love dogs and HATE people

Momma adopted and one boy.... 5 girls and one more boy to go

@Lola whoa, really??? the momma got adopted?! that's GREAT news!

Regarding the other stuff..... not so great. Is it for real you think? Or are you just having a fight?

I think ours is for real because I'm not angry so much. I feel like I need to do this to take care of myself right now. I know he supported me through the SA and all but... I don't know that it's a healthy relationship. And I really really need to take care of myself and get better and re-evaluate everything.

He's not coming back tonight.

My friend is here visiting though. She's gone to work now but she'll be back about 2am. At least I won't be alone. And I see the new doc again on Tuesday.

Oops! Looks like I'm too late...

A lasting relationship is built on two kinds of love: passion and companionship.

Passion is like an open fire: hot, red and exciting but in the morning there's nothing but cold ashes and you have to light the fire all over again.

Companionship is like central heating: boring, invisible but the warmth is always there.

Our society (which is dominated by media and advertising) oversells passion and ignores companionship.

A big part of my personal journey was the realisation that love doesn't have to be bright and intense. When I began to see the calm, continuous kind of love, I saw that there was a lot more love in the world than I had supposed.

I guess I am invisible again.

Yes Lilly, financial independence is important. H and I have been married 27 years and still have separate checking accounts and bills. We divvy up the household expenses as well, and we never fight about money.

HEY WIKI!!!!!!!!! your not invisible!!!

awww im sorry Lilly **hugs**

I'm sorry Wikid

You are not invisible.

I guess technically I forgot CE too.

Lilly...how did it go with T today? Did it help with the current issue at all? Did he read your post about XT?

You have a lot going on right now.

I brought a case of diet Pepsi and a case of chardonnay.

Dig in people!

I have a 6 pack of Mamma Chia Blackberry Hibiscus Juice...anyone want one?

Having had a couple of beers tonight I'm going to be incautious enough to say that I rather wish I had a separate account. It's not that we ever fight about money - or anything else at all, ever - and it's not as if H questions my expenses, I just feel... controlled.

Which is my problem, not H's. He is not responsible for how I interpret what he says or does. I must not lose sight of that.

And I should go to bed now. It's past midnight.

Physically and mentally exhausted. I'll be in the bar area of our PC Lounge tonight. Anyone wanna join me. You know where to find me.

Happy belated birthday to the birthday guys. Sorry to hear about the relationship stuff LC and lilllie. Goodnight apteryx and chopin. wikid - never heard of such odd sounding juice.

Personally, I think every woman should have some money on the side, so to speak. That may sound bad I suppose. Even in the best marriages women should have a little sumthin-sumthin just in case. If its not used, then its savings. But you just never know nowadays.

Lola-I'm sorry you are going thru this with your partner. It's just not fair to you. We are here for you.

@Wikid thanks. The new doc is so nice and understanding and nonjudgmental. I'm so grateful for him. I think he's gonna be okay. I haven't overwhelmed him yet despite going in there on the second date er, appointment and completely breaking down. I see him again on Tuesday.

I think I'm gonna be okay. My world just blew up and I'm strangely calm. Maybe it needed to blow up.

I brought a 6-pack of Miller - it's the "champagne" of beers! About all the champagne my budget can handle right now. Actually it's Miller Chill Lime and it's not that bad. It's hot here and the beer is cold.

LC- The puppies are so cute!

we dont drink but thinking tonight might change that in the lounge

that sounds awesome. I love hibiscus.

Plus it's yummy.

ooh have you ever had chia pudding??

and where can i get that mamma chia drink?? wed love it♥

Just looked out my kitchen window and the neighbor ladies are setting up a pool. One that actually has a pump and stuff. I am a bit jealous.

TD - What is chia pudding? It sounds good. I like chia seeds in my oatmeal.
