Sunday Dinner, August 22, 2010

Sunday Dinner time again already? I suppose so, so I'll get right down to it.

As has been my habit a lot here lately, I'm not cooking Sunday Dinner this week. There are just too many unknowns as far as who might be here and how I might feel, so I'm gonna give it a pass this week. We will more than likely end up eating out somewhere, but it's also possible we may end up back at my place to eat a sandwich.

For those of you who'd like to participate this week, just mention your plans/menu in the comments.

I still don't have any test results yet, even after making another trip to my doctor's office to try to get them in person. I did however manage to get the test results faxed from the hospital to my doctor's office, so they should be able to tell me something Monday morning when I go for a follow up appointment with my regular doctor.

Let's hope anyway, or you may be hearing a small explosion from my general vicinity. This has passed ridiculous now and edged over into unacceptable. It was 2 weeks this past Thursday since I had the tests, and still no results. Ugh.

I'm feeling better overall, but still have some days better than others, and I still tire easily. I still have pressure in my neck at times, but that seems to be better and less frequent than before as well.

I'm sure the test results will determine where I go from here as far as any treatment or new drugs needed, if any.

On another note, I mentioned last week that I had more news to share, although I don't really look forward to sharing this particular bit of news.

To put it plainly, Lamar and I will be getting divorced as soon as we can get things in motion.

This has been a hard decision on both our parts, but we are both in agreement that it's the best thing for us. We are not fighting or arguing over the division of any of our things, we just want to make this as easy as we can for both of us.

Please don't think that I'm only giving you all the run around and I'm secretly hiding my suffering, because that's truly not the way things are for me. While this has been a hard decision for both of us, I'm truly at peace with my decision.

Lamar and I are still living in the same apartment as we look for a new place for Lamar to live, hopefully still in the same neighborhood, so that he can still be near Jessica and her family, and also still be near me and all his lifelong friends and neighbors.

Even though we'll no longer be married, Lamar and I have been together for over 25 years and will remain friends and more than likely still spend a lot of time together, just as friends instead of husband and wife, and we still share family and friends together.

My life will be changing in the coming weeks, and I am okay with that, I even look forward to helping Lamar get settled into a new place while I remain here in this apartment. Lots of changes coming in the near future, and I'll deal with it as it comes to me.

I need to get this published and get some sleep, so I'll wish everyone a blessed Lord's Day. May God meet all your needs and may you have enough to share, dear family and friends.

With much love,
