Update...
DxH just left and it went okay. I have the paperwork I need for tomorrow and we went through most of the things in the garage.
I am a wreck but no more than I expected. I'm exhausted. I have cried. I intend to continue that theme into the evening. So I'm checking in here briefly and then maybe try and do something nice for myself for the rest of the afternoon. Like a lovely glitter-filled bath...
{{{Cass}}} I wish I could help.
Susan, insent actually... Yay on Anabel's sleepage.
I really like the tat, Tep.
Crying, good.
Bath, good.
Posting whenever and whatever you need to here, very good.
{{Cass}} Hang in there. You're doing great. Glittery baths do help, go glitter.
Glitter, Cass, glitter like the wind.
I can trump that. Some of my relatives still spell my husband's name "Dillon." Never mind that we've been married for over five years and they've seen it written out as "Dylan" any number of times.
Hah. A couple years ago my aunt (like MY aunt) gave me a shirt with the monogram "E" on the left breast.
Susan, insent actually... Yay on Anabel's sleepage.
Got it, and will get back to you sometime in the next day or two.
When I was about 12, I made the local newspaper, but it spelled my name Leigh. My mother sent both her siblings the article, and got back notes from both of them (one was admittedly written by her SIL) with my name spelled Leigh.
My name starts with an E. One year, I got a monogrammed wallet from my grandmother. With an A.
Sail, my mother never got me a birthday present the entire time I was growing up.
Then, when I was in my thirties, for five years running, she sent me skincare products for my birthday. All of them were almond-based.
Wouldn't you think a simple abortion would have been less stressful for her? Rather than trying to kill me when I was actually there to be killed?
Such an odd lady.
Your mother, deb, was definitely one for the record books. At least with my mother, about the only thing she ever forgot was my name. Hee. There were times I'd get called, "Jim, uh, Mike, I mean...Ellen!" when being called for dinner.
