Mistyqee and I have done our Christmas fingernails - hers are green with gold sparkles, mine are alternating green with red sparkles and red with gold sparkles. The children are in bed early (well 10.30 is early for teenagers!). Their platter is ready for the morning, stockings filled, presents placed under the tree and I've set the table for breakfast (croissants with ham and cheese, orange juice and coffee). Christmas Day clothes chosen and organised. The rest of the house looks like a disaster area, but that's what happens when teenagers are home all day, so tough, it can stay that way, I'm on holidays.
I was asked to make my kartopfel salad (yeah, I don't know how to spell potato in German I know). I haven't made this in years and it's not from a written down recipe, so I have no idea how it is going to turn out. Have made half of it tonight, the bacon and mint can wait until the morning. The potato looks slightly overdone (for a salad)
The K's Christmas
I wonder what his familys' Christmas will be like this year, with the parents split up, his sisters first Christmas in her house. And him. Will he see any of his children this Christmas, where will he spend it, did he blow his Christmas budget again
The New Year Looms
The New Year looms, larger than life; what will it bring I wonder. I hope the decision he has made means the end of the rollercoaster - for all of us. No doubt he will still cause heartache and problems though. Seems a re-hashing of my budget will be required, probably no more work on the house other than what absolutely must be done. No doubt I'll overspend on the garden again though :(.
My weight seems to have stabilised again, thank goodness. Maybe this is just my 'summer' weight, though it happened rather quickly and I have concerns it was brought on by factors other than the weather. I may have not been on the emotional rollercoaster this time, but my face and my weight would seem to indicate that I was affected.
There are still visits to the blog - maybe looking to see whether I've been contacted? But I'm not saying, one way or the other. Maybe looking to see how 'shattered' I (should have) been due to her gloating emails?
Still in my mind, despite all the nastiness I've received. Still concerned about how he is each day. Still thinking of the silly things he said that are so obviously just him retaliating at perceived injustices, like he used to. Hoping he hasn't just 'run away' from his responsibilites (though it wouldn't suprise me) - the business, his children the ' up to his eyeballs in debt' that he said he had (and said that wasn't my fault). Still saddens me the way his relationship with his children turned out; but it really is the result of the parenting they receive (from both parents).
I've been thinking about the comment I made that he had supposedly changed, so how would I know what kind of person he is now (a few posts back), and I really don't think he had changed that much at all (from when he started with her). Still behaved the same in fights, still wanted to be my friend, still flitting off on travels even though he perhaps could have been improving his financial situation instead, still treating clients with the same attitude, still wanting to appear professional, still unable to work when emotionally upset, still lending money to 'friends' who were fairly unlikely to repay the debt, still making purposeful deceitful ommissions. If he had changed so much then nothing I have said in my blog would be of concern, to anyone. Sounds like maybe he hadn't changed so much afterall, just his attitude to 'love' (as discussed in a previous post).
He did say he doesn't go to the movies as much anymore. Maybe that's because he'd found it wasn't the same as when he used to go with me
It's Christmas!
The clock has ticked over so it's Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
