Dear JoAnn

Hugs JoAnn

Thank you so much NAP, you are such a dear to me. <3

You better never leave the Sisterhood or I will hunt you down!

I am feeling back to normal physically. I went to the doctor this week and he said that I was all healed up. I did have some bleeding the week after the surgery, but it has stopped. No discharge of any kind for the last few days.

The biopsy of the cone shaped portion of my cervix that he removed showed that the margins were clear, which means that he was able to remove all of the cervical area that contained the persistent pre cancerous cells. No cancer cells were found.

It’s been tough for me emotionally. The anger that I feel about this violation of my body because of where he was sticking his dick is still raw. Raw after all these years. I thought I was over it, but I’m not. It still remains, not as hot as it was years ago, but it’s still there.

I’m angry that he can somehow scout around Tallahassee and find a young woman to share his bed while I sleep alone. More info unfolded over the last few weeks, and the link I had posted was not his new hottie, it was her best friend. His new hottie is very cute, tiny, thin, black…and he’s in hog heaven. I don’t know if she is a hooker, but why else would a 22 year old move in with short, fat old white grandpa? I know she was without housing and is moving into her own place this weekend.

Somehow life just isn’t fair.

But, on the bright side, I am living in paradise on my lovely island. But, it’s not all paradise. The last two days I spent many long hours crawling under the sink taking apart one of my four bathroom faucets trying to figure out why they were leaking from around the handles.

Now, I am not a plumber but youtube videos helped me figure it all out. Now I know everything there is to know about compression faucets, O rings and seat valves, plumber’s putty, allen wrenches and copper connections.

All four of my bathrooms now have perfectly working faucets for about two bucks each. But, it would be nice to have a handy man around the house to do these things.

My veggie garden is thriving, I have oranges, tangerines and lemons the size of marbles, the blueberries are almost ripe and there are still a few ripe strawberries every morning.

The transfer of the Sisterhood into my new corporation has proved to be monumental, but it’s coming along.

My house in MO is all polished up and ready for sale thanks to my carpenter up there. But, the market is total shit in the St. Louis area and I will lose a real (not imagined because of the housing bubble) $250K on the sale at today’s prices.

Sigh. That’s enough to make me want to jump off the bridge.

Oh, but speaking of bridges, St. George Island has been voted as the third finest beach in the country.

Sashie is completely healed and has only a fine, thin line to show for her injury. Phantom is completely back to his normal, casual self without a care in the world.

I am eating well, not painting or writing as much as I want, I have good friends and lots to do, I am planning my travels for the summer to visit my children and grandchildren and…I went shopping after my doctor’s visit and bought some nice trendy tops and shorts. I haven’t bought any article of clothing in over a year.

So, I think that’s about it. I wish I had some hope for a new relationship sometime in my future, but there is nothing on the horizon. Maybe there will be none. I don’t know how I think about that. I have a very full and fulfilling life, but it would be nice to share it with someone.

I love you NAP, thank you so much for asking about me. I hope I have answered your questions. If you, or anyone else have more questions just ask, I am okay sharing anything that anyone would ask.

I love all of you, my dearest Sisters. I wish this was easier, I wish we didn’t have to hurt this way, but, we are strong and we will survive. ~ JoAnn

Please excuse me for being especially chatty tonight I am feeling a bit needy.

Joann this beotch that your ex is with I know a lot about her kind she is an opportunistic, predatory, parasitic lowlife no doubt drug addled most likely a crack head I saw her mug shots. I live, unfortunately, in a lower class neighbourhood, and I see people like her all the time, and my adult daughter, has chosen to associate with Jamaican lowlifes who are into the drug and crime subculture, and I can recognise right away people like these. All my pleas and admonitions for her to get away from these people over the years have fallen on her deaf ears.

To give you an example, one time when no one else was at home but me and her live in jamaican boyfriend, he came on to me and me, being completely disgusted, went upstairs for several hours and calling my husband at work to tell him about it , and I told her about it, and him subsequently years later arrested and deported for drug dealing, she still to this day refuses to believe it when I tell her he made sexual advances to me.

I have for this and her gross disrespect of me have cut her out of my life until she can admit she has done me wrong and change her ways.

These people and their culture are BAD NEWS and if Larry who is getting involved with them is frightening in ways you have no idea about, Joann, RUN AWAY IN LIGHTENING SPEED!

Your ex husband probably has no clue what he has gotten himself involved with. He will get a very rude and very ugly education no doubt in the very near future, unfortunately

JoAnn,

So glad to hear you are doing well. You have so much to be thankful for.

So, you’ll be heading out of the country to visit the kids in the summer? Wow, those are long trips. I have all I can do to take a three hour trip in the car! I’m amazed at all you abilities and I think you should be, too. I wish I had one ounce of creativity in my body. There is so much natural landscape where I live that I wish I could draw or paint.

The only thing you need in your life now is the love of donkeys! 🙂 Just kidding!!! Who else would tell you that?!

I love you, Claire

Sorry Joann didnot mean to overtake your thread with my problems, you really are an inspiration to all of us. Very multi talented and energetic, please let us know how your trip to europe goes to visit your kids.
