My bff called with a small computer related emergency today-so I went over there this evening, to see if I could get her going with what she needed. She's so sweet-but totally computer illiterate. I don't pretend to be an expert, but with years of working on the darn things, I can get around on them pretty good.

Anyway, I was telling her about the weekend, how SD17 acted, how H actually kindof acted like a sort of husband. Now she's afraid I'll stay with him...she needn't worry-I went back and read all my blogs-steptalk is a great way to keep a diary, for my eyes only. And realized again how few good moments I've had since I married this man.

But she's got that pilot calling her all the time-he called her 3 times today-to see if I'd kicked H to the curb yet. She says the guy is obsessed with me. Apparently so. He's offering a car for me now-doesn't understand that I have to be independent before I can do anything, and I AM NOT looking for another man to complicate my life. I appreciate you all saying I could do an IOU for the money, consider it a loan, but I'm not that desperate yet. But it's nice to know it's available if things go from bad (current) to worse (had some of those too).

Think H will behave on Christmas, tho. My family will be around, and they're just a driveway away if he tries pulling any of his garbage. Same for SD17. And he knows it.
