Haven't been in a blogging mood all week. Lots has occurred.
First, court last Monday. I agreed to drop my counter claim, she dropped her absurd claim. I did this to spare the kids any stress. It was the right decision, though a huge part of me would have loved to see it through. Anyway, the ex now gets less than 1/2 of what she was. She did that to herself.
Now my expectation was a ranting raving lunatic. Instead she has been calm and cool. Perhaps she realizes her predicament and if she cant extort money from me, because I called her bluff, she realizes the only way she can get more from me then required is to play nice. Time will tell. I am uncomfortable because I am not used to this sudden reversal in attitude.
Jodi called me Wednesday evening and said that Laurens tests came back and they found an odd result in her spine xray. She has Spina Bifida Occulta. Basically a neural tube birth defect. One or more of her vertebrae did not fuse closed. Occulta is the mildest form of Spina Bifida, so mild that most wont even know they have it. Typically no treatment is required. But since Lauren has been having back and leg pain, mainly nerve pain in those areas, the Doc wants her seen by an orthopedist to make certain that this is not causing the trouble. She will see the specialist in July when she returns from camp.
Work has been going well. I still don't know exactly what they are doing with me. I do know I am moving up however. Just which location remains to be seen. I should have my promotion come the end of July. I really need this to come through!
Still not dating. I really want to, but I resist. Timing would be no good. One step at a time! Stick to the game plan. I know a couple of girls I work with that I would love to ask out, I have friends I talk to on the phone, blasts from my past, that I think could have potential..although logistics would be an issue. But all in good time.
Otherwise I roll along taking the ups and downs as they come. Trying not to take what I have for granted.
Peace.

Small bit of advice, if I may...stick with the girls outside of work, if you can! Dating within the workplace can have serious reprecussions, and given your up and coming rise to power, it's probably a hassle you'd rather avoid. Congrats on the court thing (careful with THAT tiger, too!), and good luck with the kid and her doc. Love and banjos right back at ya!

ReplyDeleteHowever you make a good point. I will control my libido and as I mentioned, bide my time.
