Church today - after went for a driveand saw thatDavitai s building a new center less than 2 miles from my home.  For me ... this is a hooray .... Davita is the only dialoysis center on my insurance and I was going to have to drive into Dallas to get treatment.  I hate traffic.

Tomorrow am going to Social Security office ... hopefully for some answers.

Today...go to the gym and do a proper workout.   Go visit my mother-in-law and do some shopping for her.

Tomorrow, do some gardening chores, start putting away water fountains for the winter.  Think about whether I'm going to do any fall planting or not.  Go to D.

Today - packing, packing, packing.  How did I ever end up with so much stuff?

Tomorrow - taking the first load to the thrift store to donate, and hopefully checking out a few more apartments.

I'm moving closer to town - where my 91 yr old gram is, and where my soon-to-to-be ex hubby is living.  He's still my home dialysis partner, and he comes over 5 days a week to do that.  But right now, I'm about 30 miles from where he works, and 40 miles from where he lives.  He's spending about $200 a week on gas for his truck.  I can get into a rent controlled, utilities included apartment for less than that a month that's only about 2 miles from his job.  (I hope I can, anyhow -it's one of the places I'm checking out tomorrow!)

I'm excited about moving to town - it will be nice to be closer to everyone I know there.  I'm just not thrilled at how much packing and sorting it's going to take!

I can't tell you how impressed I am that your ex is still willing to help you.  So many divorces get too ugly for words.

We have the weirdest divorce around - I've met his girlfriend and we get along.  Her oldest daughter loves it at my house.  She comes over with hubby while I'm on dialysis so she can do crafts with me.

Today - checked out the apartment complex and picked up the multi-page application.  Saw the upstairs apartment I hope to get into - gorgeous view of a patch of woods out the balcony sliding door.

Tomorrow - in-center dialysis because hubby has to work an 80 hour week this week and would have no time to sleep if he came back and did D with me.  It's the first time I've had 2 days off in a row since I started home D.  I've forgotten how miserable it is to go that long without dialysis!  I'm headachey, poofy, and thirsty!

I always became friends with my ex's girlfriends . . . mostly because of the kids. 

Sounds wierd to some, but sounds healthy to me.  It really bothered my mother-in-law that we would have my ex over for family birthday dinners for the kids and holiday dinners.  It just made it so much easier formy kids.

It's so nice to hear stories of divorces in which civility and mutual respect are desired goals.  Not always easy when strong emotions are in play but always admirable and usually in the best interest of all concerned.
