Well, here goes.

Day 2 of work for Beth is over, and I have spent what time I could today hitting monster.com and sending resumes to all the local ISPs I could find in the phone book. Beth is tired but seems to like the work okay. :) She's been getting some aggression out tearing covers off of books and dusting shelves. And I greet her every day after work with a poem and a foot massage. :)

A friend of Beth and her mom's criticized me for my treatment of her mother and ex-husband in this blog. All I will say is this: if she knew the whole of the situation, she may not be so critical. There are aspects of what has happened in her life that Beth has chosen to share with me (and her ex in one Messenger convo he decided to have with me) that she does not wish to share with others. And that's all I will say about that.

Anyway, to those concerned for Beth, I am concerned for her as much as anyone can be. I do my damnedest to take care of her with the resources I have and to treat her well and show her as much love and kindness as I can. I love her. And I always will.

Be well.
