Liberated from Dave is a good thing.
When I broke up with Dave it liberated me and set me free. It is a good thing. It was about time. I had been thinking about it for about one year now. I was waiting for the right opportunity when we would be alone. It is not easy as he has a room mate who is always there.
The down side is that I miss my Smokey very much. I just cried for my loss of Smokey the first few weeks after the break up with Dave. I didn't cry for Dave but for my loss of a good man named Smokey. I am starting to feel the healing inside of me. It is good. I don't know how to put it into words but carry around the loss in my heart. I can't put a name on it whether it is called sadness or the wounded heart.
I had to deal with a rodent in my apartment this week. That took all my mind off everything else in my life. It really freaked me out and did a number in my head. I could not sleep. I cleaned everything up and am still cleaning up places that I missed. I blocked the holes underneath the kitchen sink and bathroom. I put up mouse traps and got mouse pellets. I am still going to do a thorough cleaning today. I put frebreeze on my couches, throw carpets, bedroom carpets, coats, jackets, clothes, artificial silk plants and any fabric that I can find. I am going to do my cupboards with water/bleach mixture. I want to clean everything so I know I did the best that I can. On the internet if you put peppermint oil on cotton ball and place them in your place, it repels the mice. Peppermint oil is not cheap. I think I did the best that I can for me.. I am going to forego the peppermint oil but it is safe around food and children. I still am contemplating purchasing it. Not all stores carry it.
Don is making dinner at his place tonight. He invited me over. Don is my older brother who has Asperger's Syndrome which is a mild form of Autism. He has a huge kind and gentle heart.
Have a great weekend everyone from Diane B.

I\'m so happy for you. You\'re brave in so many ways. I know so many women who stay in bad relationships just because they\'re afraid of being alone. I\'ve always said better to be alone than to be in a bad or unproductive relationship.
Now the mouse. I\'m scared just thinking about it. I\'m in such fear of one getting in. I live in a townhouse with a basement and two floors. I had a hole that one could easily get in. Get steel wool to stop the holes up. That\'s what my mom did when we lived in an apartment. I remember everyone had cats in the building. Mom didn\'t like cats, so she stopped the mice out with steel wool. Mice can\'t chew through it. They can chew through everything else. They have a kind that won\'t breakdown too. You can probably find it at the hardware store.
My grandson was just diagnosed with Aspergers.
