Dru’s New World

(Post Transfered from old Blog)
I just wanted to fill in my readers on the update in the World of Drew. Some of my life has not reached the blog yet since I am trying to get more time to write I have a lot of things “in Work” I have actually been without Internet at home for the past 4 months and all of my posts have been done from my PALM TREO.
So I had interent connected at the new house yesterday so I will be able to be more consistant on my writings, I am actually looking for a new Domain name and Software to use for my Blogs. Any suggestions would be great.
Yesterday was a great day in the life of Dru… I finally found my self at a really large table with three lawyers two realators and a divorced couple. We all signed a lot of papers and haded checks to a lot of people for a lot of money. I am officially a Homeowner as of 12:30 pm yesterday. I am now a Landlord of a Four family and have one Vacant apartment that will have new tenants moving in on the 1st of March.
The other main Pain in my life has been the Divorce and Child Support issue. After the Closing Yesterday I went to the Mail box and sure enough there was my first Child Support payment.
Yesterday was a Great day, I hope there will be a lot more like that in the near future.

According to my daughter a long term relationship in her school is approximatly one month. I remember those days. I honestly believe that the only reason this break up affected my daughter so much was the situation.
The other day I left work early again and made it to the school so I could pick her up before she got on the bus. As I stood infront of the office looking over this wave of short people I noticed my daughter (she is one of the tallest in her school). She was walking towards me with her eyes firmly planted on the ground. Her best friend was walking beside her with the look of concern. My daughter looked up and greeted me with a painful smile.
As we walked to the car I asked her what happened at school. Of course I got the mechanical response, “nothin’”
“Then what’s wrong?”
“Tony Dumped me.” she said with a crack in her voice that told me she was about to cry. I knew then my busy plans for that night were changed. The car ride was quiet, she didn’t speak. Then she noticed that I turned the wrong way, “where are we going.
“You’ll see, you need some breakup medication.”
We pulled up in front of a Mom & Pop shop in the tiny town next to ours. We walked in and she actually started to look around for the medicine ilse. I said, “its back here.” We walked into the back where there is an old counter sat on stools and I looked at the man behind the counter. “Two Chocolate shakes, bad break up moment.”
The man gave a little smirk and went to the back kitchen. When he returned he handed the largest milk shake I have ever seen to my daughter and said, “it heals the heart” then placed a small Milkshake in front of me and said, “the large is on the house.”
Although my daughter has never been to this place I am there every morning on my way to work. Bobby, the man behind the counter, has heard about my daughter almost every week day for the past 6 months.
After a couple of ice cold sips my daughter told me a tragic story of pain, suffering and betrayal. I sat there listening and secretly thought, “boy are horrible creatures, but girls are just down right mean.”
I will have to explain this whole story someday but as for now it has snowballed into splitting a school in half and two fathers getting called to the Principals office.
The good news, after my daughter finished her milk shake and told me this horrible story, she got up with a huge smile gave me a hug and said, “I am so glad you will let me talk to you about this.”
