Tuesday

Usually I don't really like Tuesdays. The weekend is over, and any rested feeling is gone. But the upcoming weekend is too far away. Tuesdays are my least favorite day of the week.

Today is a nice Tuesday though. It is my last day without Don around. He comes back tomorrow. He is such a contradiction. He called me on Saturday and when we talked about a few things, specifically that when he comes home on Wed that Marisa will probably be there since she has a day off of school, and that he should come home alone. He agreed, and said he wanted to do a better job of that stuff. Not sure just what he meant, but I think it was regarding how he has been interacting with the kids. I wonder if he realized that he is pushing them away with both hands, and at this point they don't care much about dealing with him at all. In fact they have both told me they don't want me to tell him about certain events that are coming up because they don't want him to embarrass them. Sad.

Then on Sunday he called asking me to wire him some money. Um, no. He took plenty of money with him to last this whole time, plus he has been staying at the houses of some family in Phoenix for the past few days. So after I said no, he called back a little later and threatened me that his lawyer was going to file a complaint to have me pay him $2000 a week cash. Yeah, right. I don't make $2000 a week! I love how he said CASH. He also said he is going to take it all because he has been more than fair, and I haven't been fair at all. Like that was going to make an impact or something. If he is going to threaten me, he should at least try to be a little reasonable in his threats, make them sound credible! haha. As for being fair, I'm sure you all agree that having an affair, racking up legal expenses, taking about $5000 of our family money in 6 weeks and blowing it on who knows what, driving recklessly, not finding a job or a place to live is all considered being totally fair. While continuing to work, take care of the kids, maintain as normal of a life as possible is totally not being fair. Yeah, he is so delusional. I sometimes wonder what the gf thinks, if she thinks at all.

Then yesterday he sent me a text picture of the Rio hotel in Vegas and said see you Wednesday. I don't really know why. Is he bragging, trying to throw it in my face? Is he just trying to maintain contact with me? No idea.

I still think that Don feels that everything in our relationship is going to remain the same, except that we won't be legally married anymore, which gives him the right to do whatever he wants, while I take care of everything else. Like asking me to change his flights. Or to check in his flights and print his boarding passes. Or to wire him money. Or whatever. He is in for such a rude awakening.

On a personal note, I'm kinda mad at couple of people at work for defaming me a bit. The spread some bad rumors about me to someone that doesn't even know me, but feels threatened by me because I'm friends with someone else. I'm afraid it has ruined a friendship with someone that is very special to me. At a minimum it has strained said friendship, for now. :(

Unrelated. I heard this song on the way into work today. Reminds me how much I like Natalie Merchant.
