In a few minutes I will be leaving to attend the new teacher's banquet that GCEA is hosting. Thankfully, I will know some people there. But I'm really not in the mood to mingle.

I went by the post office a few minutes ago. There is a letter from the bankruptcy attorney and the bankruptcy trustee. I'm not going to open it until after this banquet because I'm afraid of what it says. I also have something from the IRS and Gibson Brother's. I just don't have enough money for everything. If it weren't for the antidepressants I'd probably be falling apart right now.

I am going to mail Joey a response to his most recent letter. I don't owe him that but I'm going to do it any way. Truth is, I'm a little lonely right now and that worries me. That's what led me to marry him in the first place.

Okay, it's 7:45 p.m. I just got through reading the letters from the attorney and the trustee. It's in Greek. I have no idea what I'm reading except that it looks like my payments have been reduced. But it also looks as if I have to appear in court on Oct. 7. This is a little scary.

The banquet was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the TEA speaker and I enjoyed my companions for the evening. I thought it ended much too soon. An old high school friend and an Al-Anon member sat with me. Susan H. and I talked Al-Anon for a little while. I told her that I'm very concerned about Mark. He spoke of wanting to leave his wife last night. I've known for some time that he wasn't happy and I've thought he would be making that decision soon. I just don't feel comfortable talking to him about it. He makes me nervous.
