My life is a roller coaster...

I think my new place has bugs. At least I've been getting bitten since Sunday. Had pest control come out today. But they find no visible evidence - tho' we suspect bed bugs. I'm on bug watch for a week. Keeping track of when & notice bites and under what circumstances. Then Pest Control will come back if we have something more conclusive.

<Sigh> It's just stuff, right? It's a beautiful time of year, I'm gainfully employed, I'm slowly beginning to eat properly. This is just...

My G*d, my G*d, how you have blessed me!...

Tuesday, October 20th 2009

I cannot believe how much love, support, understanding, great suggestions, and friendship is flooding my way. I feel fat and stupid and awkward after this crazy year. I know I'm doing the best I can, and all of the worst of this stuff will pass. But I still feel dreadful. And oddly hopeful :)

But what is reflected back through friendships and family: I'm smart, I'm capable, I'm beautiful, I'm resilient, I'm strong, I'll grow, I'll manage.

So here's to the wonder and grace brought ...

Move done, RealAge (ack!)

Monday, October 19th 2009

a.m.: Finished my move to new place. While it will take some adjustment I think that this will be a vast improvement to my life. Moving day was Saturday, and I felt less stressed by Saturday night. Right now I'm: getting used to sounds of neighbors, sharing parking lot, hearing trains pass by, having 665 sq ft where I had close to 1800 sq ft before.

Feeling a little gleeful about simplifying my life. That's gotta be a good sign.

RealAge.com - I test at 10 years older than myself...

Moving day tomorrow...

I'm stressed. Looking forward to change. Feel like I've got my "readers" on, 'cause I can't picture past the weekend. Maybe next weekend my vision will get bigger, i'll be ready to set aside the "readers"

Weighed myself this week. Heaviest I've been since 2007. Great time to start again. Or Again and again. :) and <sigh>

Watched an episode of "House" from season 4 last night (DVD borrowed from library). Finally, I've learned how Wilson's girlfr...

Getting Serious...

Thursday, October 1st 2009

After downloading forms from the State.gov web site, and trying to do it all by myself, I realize I need help. So I made an appointment with a reputable law firm for next week. I'm preparing my forms and my questions. My goal is to go to the appointment with everything prepared (in paper and electronically), have everything reviewed by the attorney, and then be certain I'm ready to file (Divorce or Separation). If I can't file, I at least want to know what I need to "fix." Guessti...
