The worst thing about the storm for me is the fact that, like last year with Irene, my H has not contacted me to see if I'm OK and, of course, he offers no help even though he's just 45 minutes from me.   It's still hard for me to believe, almost two years into the MLC madness, that he is so remote during a disaster like this.

Trusting,

My thoughts exactly. No contact from my ex-H, none at all. Could be a nuclear war and he would not care. Hard for me to fathom the level of anger or denial that must be going on in his head and heart. Also, I think that there must be so much pressure from OW to "get out completely" that he dare not even consider contacting me.

Of course, I am in the direct path, like so many other HS members, but so if my ex-H and OW. Hope she flies off on her broom.

Very eerie here in NYC now. Windy, misting/sprinkling. No real rain yet. People out walking around. Most stores and offices closed.

Just waiting for it all to unfold; like waiting for MLC to resolve!

Hugs to all,

Bird

Feel the same. I'm in MD/DC area. It is raining hard here and winds are picking up considerably. Worst supposed to be around 8:00 pm tonight into tomorrow. Nothing from H. I have both my sons living with me s20, s17, d21 away at school in PA. No word or concern from H. I'm 19 mos BD, Going on11 mos almost since he walked out.  It's real trip, how they can just walk away, no care or concern.  It's like we never existed, he is dead or something.  That is the way I have begun to look at it. I don't consider myself married right now. To what???  I think crises, natural disasters make us feel more vulnerable, but also help us see what is really important and the reality of it all. 

 I hope everyone fairs well with the storm.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY THE STORM.  I KNOW THAT SEVERAL HUNDRED POWER COMPANY PERSONNEL FROM ALABAMA ARE HEADED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE PLACES WITHOUT POWER TO ASSIST.  PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL......BE SAFE.

More words of wisdom from your gov:

If it looks stupid, it is stupid.

Took advantage of the day off to visit the photo store and print, matt, and frame my entry for the school art show. Came out great!

The gutters got their cleaning, just ate a bowl of cowboy beans. All is well.

CJ, I love the quote, made me laugh.

Ntmalu..... are you close to Meriden? Because if you are.... I demand you get in your car and head over to the NEW Holiday Inn and look for my husband's OW..... I'm sure she is having to work because she is the supervisor ow in charge and there's a STORM coming!!! You'll know it's her by the giant hoop earrings.... I call her JHo, if that gives you a hint, LOL!!!

CrazyJourney... you liked what i wrote/journaled??? There's more where THAT came from!!! He emailed this afternoon saying

"I'm really sorry I'm not there!!!!  You don't even know what I'm going thru .....my mom called and said she wants to come out December 20 thru the 31st and I said that would be great and it would be alright with you but if its not ....then let me know".

When I ignored... he texted about an hour later "Are you okay?".

He "got trapped" at JHo's last year during our only blizzard... after texting me about how the traffic was just too bad, so he was going to be home in the morning..... then, the next day, telling me he was sorry but he was "trapped".... I've heard him refer to how he feels at JHo's as "TRAPPED" many, many times. I've asked him why he doesn't just check out while she's in the shower sometime if he feels so TRAPPED and he replied "I've thought about it, but that would be the cowardly thing to do...." 

The governor of Connecticut officially closed all of the highways at 1pm today. Let's see..... he left her and drove three hours to JHo's, arriving at her place around 5pm Saturday night.... We didn't even get rain until this morning....he had plenty of time to get home if he wanted to be HERE more than he wanted to placate her.... he's right.... he IS trapped because she carries his b@lls in her purse...

So glad when we moved he refused to get a landline.... because he doesn't trust that ow wouldn't harass us or find out we moved.. but it ALSO means he can't annoy me with calling the HOME phone!!! I'm hoping he gets a BIG DOSE of consequences while he is now TRULY trapped at her apartment with HER out working and him left alone at home WITH HER KID that he can't stand, and whatever family members she currently has moved in.... that's one of the reasons he doesn't like her... she let's her "welfare trash family) move in with her, even in THEIR old apartment that they lived in together!!! I guess "freedom" really ISN'T free, now is it?

I expect him to continue to try and contact me in desperation...maybe he'll get ANGRY with me for "playing these games!!!'... The confusion that can ONLY be explained by MLC is so obvious to me.... yet people in "real life" that know about my sitch tell my "it's only alcoholism!!" Uh, no..... there is alcoholism, and on TOP of that is this NEW CRAZY $h!te!!! Anyone else heard that "it's only alcoholism!!"

FTT.... batten down the hatches.... wind is getting really bad down here.....

[forthetrees]

I have tied the patio furniture together and the winds are blowing the grass FLAT. Am over halfway through the ironing pile:) I work well to a deadline- being the loss of power. So far, so good.

Wind is bad here. Not much rain yet!  If Sandy takes it's project left hook into NJ upstate NY will miss the bulk of the rain. Authorities called my work because they are expecting 9ft storm surge in the river at the next high tide..2am tomorrow.  They have a facilities right on the Hudson and called to tell them to take emergency actions.   God bless all of you closer to the center in NJ and NYC. 

Power still on but many have lost it.

My "hero" called me at 1:30 today to see if I was prepared and offer help.  Really!!!  Nothing like waiting until the last minute so there really is nothing left to do. Ugh!  Said he was worried!  Ugh!

Stay safe everyone!
