Well, I've been back to work most of the week but I actually feel the worst yet I'd say. The sores from the Shingles are drying up and now they sort of burn more than they itch ...although they still itch as well. It also sort of feels like I have painful goose bumps all over my body.

And either related or non-related, I've also felt nauseas since right after school. I slept for about an hour after school, but I still feel exhausted.

It's a full house here this weekend. My 2 kids, G's 2 kids, us and the dogs. My sister and husband are away for the weekend to his family's house and I'm keeping an eye on their cat.

The divorce papers are in. I could've went to sign them tonight, but I didn't feel like going out. I'll shoot for sometime this weekend though. Then he can send them back on Monday.

I got annoyed with him yesterday over what I consider to be his selfishness. I asked him to chip in for our daughter's dance classes (which are pretty costly but something that means a lot to her). Even though I willingly let him stop paying me many dollars a month for support, he said he "couldn't" really afford to help me out with that. I was pretty ticked but it helped me remember the way it's always been. He's always getting himself new things while telling me that he's broke when it comes to something I wanted (usually for the house or kids). I resisted the urge to say much though and instead let it be a reminder of what I no longer have to deal with. From there I was faced with the gnawing question "Do I or don't I" start demanding the support again?

But today he called and said that he was "thinking" and thought it was "the very least he could do" to pay for every other month's dance lessons. He's right. It is the very least he could do. But for now, it's enough.
