I'm on my own now and choosing on July 4th to celebrate my independence and have faith that future will be better and better. I hope you, my friends, will be able to do the same. I apologize for being less active here for the last couple of weeks while I have been dealing with some significant relationship issues and moving out of my house. My girlfriend and I broke up a couple of days ago. I'm in the middle of moving from a suburban house into my sister's condo in the city of Chicago. And most of my stuff is now in storage. There have been huge changes in my life and it's been a very stressful time. Thank you for being patient with me and offering such fantastic support! I am grateful to you all!
On Friday, my ex and her bf are coming to pack and move her crap out of the house.
She's rented space on a freight truck, so for 3 1/2 days a 28-foot rig will be sitting in my driveway. I've been considering for some time whether I should bother to meet the bf. I am curious after all. But then again, neither he nor she are a part of my life any more. I don't think he deserves that sort of consideration. She's asked me not to be around much while they are there, because "he will be uncomfortable." It's so nice that she's considerate of his feelings, don't you think? LOL!

My house has sold and the close is July 15. I have held off mentioning it here for a couple of weeks because I didn't want to jinx anything, but everything is proceeding well and I am praying it continues.
The buyers have made the usual request to fix some things, so I've been getting those arranged. I've also been organizing and purging my stuff for the last few weeks to downscale from a 3 bedroom house with a full basement to what essentially would be a 1 bedroom apartment. I have gotten rid of lots of things, my ex keeps lots of things, and I am fairly sure I can get what remains down into one decently-sized storage unit.
I'll be moving in with my sister for a couple of months. This should all be an interesting little adventure. Please wish me luck! Thanks!

On this Father's Day I celebrate the lives of my dogs Molly and Zorro. They may be gone physically from this world, but their spirit lives on in heaven and in my heart. Molly loved everyone without reservation and had such a zest and joy for life. Zorro was a harmless, gentle soul who somehow decided I was worthy of his unquestioning love and loyalty. Even when their health was failing in extreme old age, their only real desire was to be with me no matter what, and that's what they did. I miss them, I treasure them, and I honor them.

Yeah, dogs are great! Our Zoe is getting old and she still feels like she's got to get up when she sees you. I feel bad because I can tell it's hard for her. Sometimes I sneak around so she doesn't see or hear me. She's a great dog!

Update: I decided not to meet the bf. I don't want that memory. I don't want to know what he looks like. I don't want to see him or relate to him as a person, regardless that he's done me a huge favor. I could have congratulated him or something, been the better man, but there is no point. Ex isn't worth the trouble.

Well Mikey in our book you ARE the better man. (((HUGS))) Poor sod doesn't know what a booby prize he got! LOL
Cricket08
LMAO! Thanks! I managed not to see either of them, even though she had to come back twice for things she forgot to take.
