It's officially over now...

turned in the car hauler today and have the RV parked at the end of the driveway...

I did it.  I survived.

an omen, I hope....

For the past couple of days, I have been languishing at home, just enjoying the relative calm and tranquility.

Wow.  What a year.  It leaves me seriously wondering if I even want to go back to Florida at all...and if I had to decide, right this moment, the answer would be no.

Mike and I got into it on the CCR chat site.  I had suggested that those who could make it for a gathering should do it, on the originally set date, in Hickory Nut Gorge. I got accosted, asked if that was true of all "my friends" (he isn't anymore) and made another demand that he and I needed to "talk."

I want nothing to do with Mike. nothing.

The others were all clamoring for us to settle things. I have...for me.

More terse words≥ Mike told me that I needed to "grow up" and I proceeded to inform him that I was through being manipulate and controlled.

Said I would discuss things no more and withdrew from the group. Didn't know that would make it hard to return to the chartroom too see if anyone said anything else.  Thought I had been blocked or banned and asked, on FB, if that were so.  Was told I had not been.  Then this morning, mike sent me a link to get back into the chatroom. "no strings," he said.

The arrogant narcissist just doesn't get it.  The others don't get it either, don't understand how they have been played and manipulated for decades.

Not gonna press the issue. Not going back to the chartroom either.

Sent a reply to Mike's message with the link in it:"no thanks."

I've had me enough.
