Thank you Brooklyn, Beatrice and Ever.

It looks to be a beautiful day. I'm planning to use it to my full advantage. Right up to dark-thirty.

One of my D25's best friends was injured in a car accident dodging a deer ( bet she wished she had hit the deer) and is in traction in Hot Springs, so I'm going with her to #1) visit her friend, who is a real sweetie, and #2)get out of town for a bit.

Better get to gettin' ( thanks Brooklyn) I've got grass to mow, roses to dead head, pots to water, tomatoes and peppers to set out, hot tub to drain, etc. and so on.

Have a great Friday everyone.

PUNKIN!!!

Hope that got your attention. What's going on? I could be wrong but I thought yesterday was the day, you said "right up to dark-thirty."

If it was (or wasn't) I just wanted to check on you, see how things are? You sound like me with your list of yard work...that's all I've been doing (other than paper grading) this whole week!

Doing fine, I suppose. Worked my butt off Friday, accomplished a lot and that felt good. Started raining early yesterday morning, so I was restricted to what I could do under cover, so I emptyed, cleaned and refilled the Hot Tub. Thinking of rearranging the back deck after church.

Confession - I've checked my old email each morning this weekend to see if there would even be a drunken plea from my STBXH. NOTHING. Don't know what I'd do if there was, but still . . .

Think I'll clean out and rearrange the shop that H broke into. At least there is more room in there now. I can arrange it so it is woman friendly.

Just doing my best to stay busy!!

Punkin,

You did get a lot accomplished. Good for you.

As far as your confession, I think we have all done something like that...still hoping that they will contact us.

I have to get my act in gear as far as cleaning outside and inside.

You are doing a great job at keeping busy, I need to be more like you than maybe I won't think as much.

Take care.

Punkin,

I just want you to know that I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I know none of this has been easy. I also want you to know how much I admire your wit and how you've handled your situation.

Some tough stuff yet to come, but always remember we're here for you. We understand and together we'll see you through, just as you have done for us.

(((Hugs)))

Hey Punkin.

I will be thinking of you and praying for you tomorrow.

I know you will come from a place of strength and dignity - with a little bit of that Punkin wit we have all come to love!

Let us know how it goes, sweetie.

You'll be ok.

Thanks guys. I just got home from my afternoon for me.

Nails - check
Hair - check
Massage - check

About to sit in the hot tub for a bit and chill, then when I go to bed, take an Ambien to make sure I sleep well.

Nervous about tomorrow, but I know everything is in God's hands. The hardest part will be having to sit on the stand and look at him and say the things I have to say.

My friend thinks the judge will take everything under advisement, grant the divorce, but get back to us on the settlement. I hadn't thought of that before, but he may be right, as the judge will not be that knowledgeable of Military Law.

I really appreciate all the support; don't know where I'd be without it. Just got to get through the next 18 hours. (SIGH)
Lord knows this is not where I want to be, I'm sure most of us feel/felt that way. SOOOOOOO, tomorrow's my day on the block. Keep me in your prayers, guys. ((HUGS)) to all
