The screwdrivers came back. Unexpected. Unannounced. They brought along other tools, including a saw I was also secretly pining for.
Monday night I went to a painting class with a friend. She brought sangria and Aleve and I tossed both back. That’s unusual on both counts but I had a killer headache, partly from crying my head off over screwdrivers. We sat in the back of the class and laughed and painted and had a much needed fun night.
When I got home the screwdrivers were on the dining room table. In a box. Gift wrapped. With a blue bow.
It was a strange marriage.
It’s a strange after-the-marriage, too.

I love Sangria. Mostly I love that your screwdrivers came back. That was really, really fabulous.

Cue the “Chariots of Fire” theme song. That’s awesome.

That is so sweet. It seems like there are not many people who get to have a good relationship with their ex after a divorce. It looks like you’ll be one of the few, and I am glad for that.

How great it is that y’all are managing an amicable separation. Good for you, good for him, and most of all good for the kids.
