Catch up

Just playing catch up here...

June 25th - I GOT MY MAC!!! I said I'd break my boss before June 30th, and I did. It's been a few weeks and pure bliss. There have been a few minor hiccups, but I chalk it up to transition issues in locating replacement software to perform some of the functions that used to do in the windows world.

July 2nd - Decided to pursue having Bariatric surgery. My sister and are going to have it done this year, however not at the same time. I think it's time. I held off on this option for as long as possible. I attended two group meetings hosted by the doctor who performs the Duodenal Switch method. Everyone there seems genuinely happy with the decision. 95% success rate in keeping the weight off.

July 6th - My ex called and told me a voice in her head told her to cancel Alimony. She said "I don't know why, but I was told to sign-off to have it removed, so that's why I called you." I'm thinking, what's the trick. I know she has a growing arrearage, so I think the "voice" is probably that of her increased risk of getting pulled over by the police and getting arrested for being a deadbeat parent.

She called again the following Monday to reiterate the request, and then additionally added that it would be nice to have the children assigned to her in case of my death. I said, they are currently assigned to go to my mom and dad or sister if I pass away. She said, we'll perhaps you can have that changed to me. I would rather NOT do that since it took three years to fight for the full-time custody of them. They are all in the same high school, and I don't want them to move away from it before graduation, so switching them over to her is not going to happen any time soon.

July 11th - Gina has left for North Carolina to visit with her Aunt. She's getting older, and more ready for the next thing in life. Scary but true.
