Seems like you are the responsible adult OMW. Hope everything goes smoothly frOM now

Saturday morning, I have just been speaking to a very hungover friend on the phone. It was good to get a reminder of what I no longer have to go through - have probably been taking it for granted recently

Day 2 of Rome. The Forum and Colosseum very cool

Sisterbobby

That AV begging for that weekly drunk session has quieted down that I may be taking it for granted also. However, I look forward to getting up early with morning coffee and surfing. Lately, my days have been crammed together, I can't remember,but i think it was the july 4th weekend I had my last glass of wine. So I am on 21 days.
No more drinking for me. This is it. Yes...
I love my new life and what may be or will be. I am blessed, I have many opportunities in front of me, many wonderful and awesome paths I can take. The sky's the limit here baby. Wow...
Off to work

OnMyWay7

You're doing great Sisterbobby

OnMyWay7

Hi guys. Day 4 and were traveling by bus to Tuscany. We stopped at a mountaintop village. Overall good days -

Sisterbobby

Okay, now i am jealous OMW.

OnMyWay7

Don't be too jealous. Tonight and tomorrow's activities are wine tasting. I'll be okay. Am very committed but my SO actually said "are you going to cave tonight?" I responded "no" and nothing more was said. Not very supportive but I'm doing this for me and my kids so her support isn't needed. That was weird though don't you think?

saoutchik

No that's not supportive at all - seem like she wants you to cave OMW. I know your not going to though.

I have been to Tuscany in my twenties, wish I had appreciated it more. Hope I get to go back one day

Sisterbobby

Yes, very weird. Not supportive at all, just short of pouring it down your throat.

Misery love company!!!!

I know you are not going to cave either OMW.

I hope to go to tuscany some day, on my bucket list...+5

OnMyWay7

Successfully made it through last night and today's lunch time wine tasting. Tomorrow we go to see the David statue up and out by 8:30 - lots of early mornings on this trip.

saoutchik

Well done OnMyWay, I think successfully negotiating those was a big deal. At least you know that you can get through it if you have to.

I have been offered £1500 for the 'male' moulds or bucks that I made for my Lancia. I don't know much about the buyer but there are only a couple of this particular model in the UK so maybe they are from abroad. It's good to be getting some money back for a change

The weather here in London is cr*p and so is the forecast. What happened to summer?

OnMyWay7

Hi all. Just checking in - beautiful day and yeah Saoutchik half of summer is over

saoutchik

That amounts to a grand total of 1 day

Glad you're having a good time OMW. there is something to see everywhere you turn in Tuscany. My Lancia (a Flaminia) is named after a roman road, Rome to Rimini I think.

Weather still lousy, strong winds.

Oldest daughters baby due in a few days

OnMyWay7

What baby?! Is this the first we're hearing of her and the baby or have I been so self absorbed I haven't noticed. Well congrats in advance.

Tomorrow off to Venice. Had a drama night with the SO but the good thing that came out was we talked to the kids and were as honest as we could be and told them we were separated. All but the youngest who is only 7. Anyway never a dull moment but I want dull moments. I hate this drama.

saoutchik

I have mentioned that oldest daughter is pregnant but it was probably quite a while ago so no reason for you to have remembered (I wouldn't have remembered) I have been grandad Saoutchik since late 2012. This'll be my 2nd

Drama on vacation is no fun OMW but quite commonplace I believe. Good that you talked with your children about it

saoutchik

Forgot to say - I have had a good day today - whopper order from Europol. They pay on time too

Sisterbobby

went out and got alot of boxes...
yes moving out, my attorney gave AH an option to buy me out or sell everything or almost sell everything.
AH does not want to help with the mortgage until the divorce is finally, also, he wanted me to help him pay his rent at his brothers. His brother has stayed with us on numerous occasions without paying rent.
That was a slap in the face that I needed. I want out of this house and this town. He is the most ingrate individually I have ever know.
So I am packing.

saoutchik

Don't blame you SisB, also a new place and town sort of underscores the new life. I expect you have done this already but check with your attorney first to make sure nothing you do adversely affects position. Since it was him/her who issued the ultimatum i'm sure it will be fine but it's easy to make a mistake and end up paying for it financially

Sisterbobby

My attorney knows. I was going to keep this house and he live in the other one but I do not want to live in a house full of memories. Also, take a chance of running into him at the store are anywhere else. I'm so done with this.
