My Story Ready for 2020 A Decade after Bomb Drop
#30: October 28, 2020, 12:26:45 PM
Hello,

It has been a while since I last posted on my thread. A lot of ups and a few downs.

Outdoor furniture arrived and the fire table. About time. Really looking forward to enjoying an cool evening with the fire and a cocktail with the wife by my side.

Of course, fire breaks out in my county and my lovely new furniture is covered in ash. So I am trying to figure out how to clean it without working the ash into the fabric. So if you have any good advice, please, please post.

Wife and I had a fabulous anniversary weekend together. We just went to a hotel, had a couple of great dinners, an okay breakfast and a really nice long walk. Lot's of time to talk and focus on each other. It is nice to have a great time and come back feeling closer than ever.

On my professional front, we have opened both elementary schools. One month of students on campus and no outbreaks so far. Some positive tests for staff, but not linked to the site. Everyone in masks and social distancing. Lots of handwashing, temperature checks, and wipes galore.
However, just having the kids back on campus and learning is worth all the effort.

Hope everyone has a great remainder of the week and an even better weekend,

((((((Ready))))))

BD-October 2018-ILYBNIL, wants a divorce, 2 OW at different times.
April 2019 He got an apartment and moved out.
Oct 2019-Apologized for a years worth of monster behavior.  Still wants to start divorce this Spring, is distant, but friendly.  Tries more with kids, but superficial.
2020-He has continued to help out when asked and be polite.  I do think he questions his choices at times.  I do not believe he has OW.
Oct 2020-He wants to get back together.  I am unsure. 
August 2021-.  He has shown very gradual, but consistent progress.  He moved back home.
December 2022-He has been home for 1 1/2 years reconnecting, in the room with me for several months. I now consider us reconciled.

Ready -
So happy for your bonding anniversary with your wife.
Living vicariously through you!

Fire pits are amazing; planning on building one in the Spring.

Glad that school is back in without a hiccough. 
Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way!

Hello,

I have tried avoid posting this for a while, but unfortunately I lost my job a few months back and I have found getting a new job a little difficult. In fact, I had to apply for unemployment for the first time in my life. Pre-bomb drop, I would have lost my mind.  But after surviving the emotional devastation of bomb drop, I will say that I have been very focused and positive despite the uneasiness of the times.

I did make it to the second round for one position. It was sad feeling when I realized I wasn't going to make it for the final round.  However, the leadership position for a school that I taught at for eleven years will open soon and I am optimistic that I would be a top candidate for that position.

Just wanted to reach out and ask for a few prayers/positive thoughts. My  wife has been amazing and so supportive. Can't even put in words how much I love her.

Have an amazing day, 

(((((Ready)))))

Ready, sending good thoughts your way.  I’ve come from a long line of teachers and hold a spot in my heart for all of you.  It must be so reassuring to know your wife has your back, this is gold and something we all hope to have once again. 

With all the great advice you give in here, I can tell you are a quality teacher.  Any school would be lucky to have you. 

Fingers crossed for you. Roo
