I know I need to do the Roundup today. I will get to it sometime this afternoon.
Blue Eyes lost a patient yesterday. That’s only the second time in three months and he was really upset. He cleaned the patient and the room but had to be present while the family came in to view the body and grieve. I cannot even imagine how difficult that must have been.
After I picked Pumpkinhead up from Chapin (who refused to turn over the truck 
), Pumpkinhead and I rented some funny DVDs and went over to watch them with him. Then Pumpkinhead fell asleep watching Star Wars and Blue Eyes got called into work again (he has weekend call all month) so I stayed on the couch watching Chappelle Show until he returned. We decided to stay over since Pumpkinhead was already asleep in Blue Eyes’ daughter’s room.
Pumpkinhead and I got up this morning and headed off to McDonalds to return our RedBox DVDs and pick up some breakfast. Now we’re getting ready to head off to DivorceCare and I’m going to try to make it to the mall today for some makeup. I still can’t seem to face taking concrete steps towards accomplishing anything that needs to get done. The trip to the credit union took all of me yesterday. I think today I will take the anti-anxiety meds BEFORE I leave for the day, as opposed to yesterday when I took it after I arrived home. And sometime today I have to get an outline developed for my anti-corruption class paper. As much as I would like to be done with all of this right now, I am not going to throw this semester down the tubes. Just send me energy vibes and prayers for concentration, okay?

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added it to my News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Hang in there, girl. My mother had a similar truck problem when she divorced her second husband (physically abusive a-hole!) He, too, was unwilling to give up his precious truck. So, we stole it.
We took it when he was working, then went and spent the night at an undisclosed location. (Note the abusive part–it would not have been pretty if he had found us.) Kept it hidden and sold it as soon as possible.
But, I think that truck was titled solely in her name. I’m not sure what would happen if you stole a truck that was jointly titled. I guess you could request the court to order the truck sold, if there is no other way to get it out of your name and prevent Chapin from ruining your credit.

Matthew always had a terrible time when a patient died (he’s an RN) – it is one of the main reasons why he doesn’t do direct patient care. We’re pulling for him and for you to enjoy the rest of the weekend and to find a sense of peace!
