Hi folks
The last time there was life in the Planet, (March 2012ish) you may recall Renee and I were living with another married couple. I was her caregiver. Life was, for the most part, good.
About a year ago it started changing. She got moody, jealous and possessive. I didn't (stupidly) see the signs. It carried on through Christmas and into 2013. I (apparently) became moody and distant, spending all my time in Kathy's pocket.
It came to a head in June, a few days after my birthday. After a row, a massive screaming match, and many allegations about my character, morals, and, uh, attraction to Kathy, she threw us out, with nothing but the clothes on our backs, and the money in our pockets.
To make a long story slightly shorter, after a few days in a motel, we made it to beautiful Plymouth, Minnesota, homeless but staying with really good friends. Through July we managed to get this apartment and Renee a transfer to the Plymouth Target. In August we made a trip back to get our clothes etc and in Sep we moved into this apartment.
Just the two of us again, life is getting back to normal. We've been incredibly fortunate and the only thing we don't have yet is a car, but I have plans to get one. Socio-economic disparity is my problem. But it's coming, and our friends Debbie and Bruce (who live in the same complex and have known Renee since she was 7) have been awesome with car loans and everything else.
At first the idea of living so close to HUGE Minneapolis scared me, but bit by bit I've come to really like it here.
