Finally Some Good News From Me!
Permalink  

I was told by one of the members here that I need to come to the board on Good Days as well as the Bad.....but that I only seem to come on when I am having a bad day.  Well I have taken the advice.....I have been trying to come every day.....and today I have some good news.


My AH called to tell me that he has almost finished w/the repairs to the front porch.  He replaced the boards and has the cedar siding and paint needed to finish & should be done by the time I get home from work.  He spent all day yesterday working in the yard (5 acres) and has that looking nice.  He will have the air handler installation complete by next Tuesday.


AND THE BEST NEWS:  he has a job interview tomorrow.  I know that doesn't mean he will get the job but at least it is a step in the right direction.


So today I am seeing some light shine through this tunnel that I have been in for 8 months.  Next Tuesday, my realtor is coming out to photograph my house so it can be listed.  My AH is getting the repairs done that have to be done in order to list.  And he is finally making progress on getting a job.


Now I know I shouldn't get my hopes up and I keep telling myself that.  I know that he could relapse back into old behaviors at any time.  But for now, my goal is to sell the big house & get myself set up so I can make with or without him.  And he is finally gotten off his butt to help me achieve this goal.


So I just wanted to share that w/y'all.  Hope y'all are having a good day. 


Sincerely,


QOD

Awesome (((QOD))) I know you have been waiting a long time for this.  So good to hear HP gets us through the woods to the other side.  Good Luck for you and your A.  You'll be in my prayers.

The one thing that popped into my head is "he's a procrastinator like me!"  LOL  I admit, I seem to work best under pressure so I put things off until almost the last minute and then I am a flurry of activity getting it done.  I'm sure that drives others around me crazy at times.  Ah well.  I am working on not procrastinating on everything these days.  Enough pressure without adding to it myself, ya know?  


Glad things are getting done and you're feeling good today!!


Luv, Kis

Thanks for the ray of hope!


My A isn't doing anything on the house so we can list it, I am doing as much as I can myself.


I guess he doesn't believe I mean it.


Don't keep telling yourself that you can't get your hopes up, just enjoy the moment.


It's good to have a break from disappointment and focus on a good thing for awhile.


Thanks for the good news:clap:

((((((((((((((((((((((QOD))))))))))))))))),


Woohoo! I like hearing good news! 


I definitely think we need to hear the good and the bad posts.  Because if we just did one or another, that wouldn't give us a chance to learn from either.  Besides poistive posts give us hope.  Negative posts keep us humble.  It's a balancing act.


Glad things are looking up.    I'm sure the house looks great. 


Enjoy  the sobriety time, and I pray that it lasts for you and hubby.  Who knows?  Miracles can happen.


Live strong,


Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
