Thanks guys. I did much better over the weekend. Even though today is a holiday officially for my office, I'm at work, by choice. I need to ramp up my hours and, thus revenue, generated. This is the engine that will drive the future for my kids and me. So, have to step it up there.
I had a discussion with the managing partner at my office last week about the job situation, and he had a great statement: "Sometimes, you just have to play hurt." So, I will.
Working on nailing down a new vehicle. Might have found one.
I plan to stay busy to keep my professional life in the right place. My personal life, as far as my W is concerned, is not something over which I have any control, so God will have to handle that one. I will keep my R strong with my kids - that will NEVER change in a negative way.

We're working here- we don't get the federal holidays off except the big ones. Got a great parking spot though in the garage on account of all the firms in our building that are closed- Oh well..
Yeah, we're working too. Actually, the only business in our building that is closed is the bank home loan division on the bottom level.
A friend of mine is a schoolbus driver and she assumed I was off on Monday (she also was an Army wife for over 20 years and never worked before her H left). I told her that I lived in the real world where we're only closed on the major holidays. She was actually stunned. Good grief!

Think I've got the vehicle search down to two. I will start the bidding war tomorrow am b/w the car salesmen. And deal with the other driver's insurer to settle up on my old, now totalled, car.
Remaining silent with W. Doesn't seem to bother her, but that's not why I'm doing it. I just have nothing to say. For all intents and purposes, she has left me. And that does not make me want to be her friend.
I returned the "nicest" present my W bought for me for Christmas. It was a basting brush set. Turned out to be a $6.00 set. Wow. Why bother? Don't mean to sound ungrateful, but is that really the best you could do? I dropped over a $100 on her presents "from the kids." Wish I hadn't done that now. No, I take that back. I did the honorable thing.
Don't get me wrong. The dollar amount is not the issue. It's the complete lack of thought that went into it. In the frame of mind she's in now, she probably thought it was a great gift. But, it simply hurts.
Tomorrow, I have my job review. Need to knock the top off of it this year.
Living under the same roof and not having any conversation is not fun. But, it is a consequence of my W's decision.
