Getting stuff done today!
Got booked in with my old counsellor for Nov 18. Had to stop seeing her cause he felt she was talking me into leaving him - should have followed her direction not his! (hindsight)
Got his name put on the gas bill for the house so it doesn't come to me.
Last night sent a bunch of info to the lawyer.
Changed dentist appt to January, just can't do it now, been thru enough. Woman there was a hoot had a great chat about getting divorced.
Changed my beneficiary on my life insurance and RRSP.
All around I feel like I've done alot and I feel really good about it.

Are Cali and Diego the new beneficiaries, by any chance?

Wow! What a lot of real accomplishments! You must feel so good.

You go, girl! Give yourself a pat on the back, at the very least. You deserve it.

Doesn't it feel good? We're all proud of you, pour yourself a good mug of hot chocolate to celebrate, and add all the marshmallows you want!

Nice work Gayle.

My neighbors have given me some melatonin tablets to try, to help me sleep. I'm really sleepy now, but it's not even 10pm yet. And then, later on, I'll be sleepless and thrashing in the bed from 3am on.

I have a Pet Guardian form to fill out. And I am going to have a will made.
I will have Siamese Rescue and PurrEver Ranch as my beneficiaries.

My meeting with the lawyer is on Thursday, with my 'husband'. Hopefully he will just sign off on what I'm offering him and I can rest a bit easier then. And no courts.

PT- please pray that he does not contest my settlement. Last Saturday he said he'd just agree to my terms. Hopefully, he'll leave me be, and not destroy me further. ( I can't believe that this is the same man who cared for old, sick Malfi, on our bed for 4 years)

Gayle- I'm really impressed by the strides you have made just in the last week or so. Keep it up, there are good things waiting for you.

[Queen of Poop]

Rose, I'm praying for you now and will keep fingers crossed on Thursday that it all goes the way you want it to. You're doing good too girl. The not sleeping is really crappy cause it makes the emotions all the worse. Sending you a good night hug across the miles to help you sleep.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Be strong. Ladies!!! {{{{{GAYLE AND ROSE}}}}}

[carole]

way to go girls, you are both amazing, and strong women,remember your support group is always here for you,it takes courage to do what you are doing,i wish you both all the best, and Rosethecopycat,my thoughts are with you on Thursday, i hope all goes well, and fingers and all paws crossed here for you. HUGS to you both.

Would some chamomile tea help with the sleep at night, might be worth a try.

[Daisy and Delilah]

As far as sleep goes, I think you have to have a clear mind to sleep well. Not always the case but it sure is for me.

Have you ladies considered something like Ambien or Lunesta temporarily until you get past this difficult part? I don't think either are considered habit forming but they may be psychologically if nothing else. I'm not sure. Sleep deprivation is terrible for anybody and especially someone that's living through heavy stress.

I have insomnia so I have to use meidcation or I would never sleep. It's so hard. Best wishes to both of you.
