WELL, its here, the moment of Truth and Divorce.

Husband is playing a game of Cat and Mouse and revealing himself here and there. 

Apparently his big plan is to get a job as soon as unemployment runs out. And he will work on home improvements and keep track of time and labor, sell the house, divorce me and have a "fresh start". Sometime in the next who-knows.

But he would stay with me if I admit to my wrong-doing, and show him all my phone texts.

Greetings Steptalkers. 

Without my usual preamble and dry humor that isnt funny, I have some news.

Yesterday in the am (5/19/2025) I was notified via text that a friend of mine who had asked my husband to do some work on her car for her was filing a restraining order and lawsuit against him. We went back and forth and here is the bare bones of what I know and what was said, all between myself and this woman:

- He didnt do the work he said he did, so she didnt pay him and he spent all last week badgering, harrassing and threatening her.

Im re-watching while I get through this yucky bug, and "for the fashion" of course. Theres a resurgence in interest in this series...everything old is new again, right? 

Well, NOW I am noticing the step dynamics. Throughout the different seasons, as the characters age, and engage with bio parents, and "that other thing" with the billionair little boy lost and the almost-his-age-step mother. I noticed it mainly in season 5-6. 

Good morning. Still a little sick with coughing, but no body aches and fever, so thats a blessing. Slept fitfully, until aboit 10 am. Half the day is gone.

"Dont stop believing" song by Journey is playing as I type this out. The sky is a hazy dreamy soft creamy gray where the sun is trying to emerge, and fog is hugging the hillsides in the distance.

Recap:

Dec 24 Christmas eve. Not much news, calls to my younger brother about their plans to arrive Dec 25 and we should meet up, and we will play it "by ear" as to how Dad is doing.
