Details...details

So Saturday I got up to go to work on the Yoga studio. Scott was already there and had knocked out about 1/4 of the wall we had to knock down to create a bigger room. The we were going to rip out the old carpeting - we had a lot of work ahead of us.

I am glad I brought some masks to use and glad there were gloves there too - this stuff was old (the building had probably been built in the 50s and there was a lot of dust and of course old fiberglass insulation in the walls. Scott demolished and I cleaned up after him. We worked together for three hours with few breaks. He talked as we worked and I listened as he told me he was at wits end with his marriage. He listened to me the same way when mine fell apart. I know he's somewhat attracted to me (and not I am not saying this because I have some self-inflated image of myself when it comes to men) I can feel it. But I kept telling him over and over as gently as I could - to really think on things. To try to make things work (because there are little kids involved)- I wonder to myself if my husband said these things about me - sometimes the bitter part of me imagines *ALL* men say these things about their wives when they talk to other women that they may be attracted to...

But Scott and I have a business relationship and I'm no 18-year-old home wrecker/tramp - so I try to be a good friend and I listen and I suggest things that hopefully might help him to win the war he's waging in his mind and heart. The questions only he and his wife have the answers to - hopefully they will work it out...together.

I was sore Sunday - I had problems walking - I guess I am more out of shape than I thought I was. Hopefully though, we will get new carpet down and the room will be wonderful and the Yoga business will thrive.
