Tonight we talked again and decided we should just do it, reunite our household and live again as husband and wife. All that remains to work out is the how. I need to get some money together, take a second job, win a jackpot, something. We'll probably have to raise about $1500 for deposits, moving expenses and the like. Of course in January I can sell my stock again.
I'm brainstorming and scheming as hard as I can. Marie suggested I think about tending bar part-time: I enjoyed the summer gig at my sister's events and I have a server's license. It's not the greatest environment but it is a way to make ready cash.
We just realized we are better together than we are apart, and we have to just decide to make it work. Whatever "issues" (I hate that word; it's so pc and trendy--a generation ago people didn't have issues, they had families and jobs and commitments) we have we'll just have to work out, day by day.
So that's where we are. It will take some faith and acceptance. But we know we want to be together. Now we are searching for solutions and opportunity. It feels like a good place to be.
A second job might be good but you can't keep selling your stock you also have to think about the future.
ReplyDeleteGretchen, I'm old. In the future I'll be dead.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Marie says she's not mad at you. She understands you're just trying to help. We really do have trouble with our phones.
