Friday Randoms

[bl]

So happy today. Ended up finding out the Dallas's trip got postponed, so he is still coming tonight!!! We also made it facebook official Wednesday night. I had told him I was kind of in a blah mood both about not seeing him and some stuff at work that just had me a little bummed. He told me to check my fb a little bit later and sure enough it was on there. He said I make him and his heart so happy and he wants to make sure everyone knew it. Aww, and what's crazy is he did that without me having the "sometimes I need you to vocalize your feelings" convo.  I took the suggestions from TR and used that as an opportunity to explain to him how much that meant to me and use positive reinforcement. He somehow seems to always know just what to do and when I need it most.

I am having a girls night tonight with pantsoffdanceoff and then he gets into town around 11:30 so I will go pick him up. Great start to the weekend to get a fix of girl chat before fun couple time.

Decided this morning in the shower that I need to move out no matter what by Feb 1 or definitely by March 1. May 5 2015 I found out DH had a girlfriend and he said he wanted a divorce. He has done nothing to move this along. He is meeting up again with the one he had a affair with 2010.

I have to do major clothes purging over the next few days. Trying to smush half a house worth of stuff into a one bedroom apartment is hard, but it's definitely giving me major motivation to get rid of stuff!

After being off work for 11 days, this week feels like it has gone on forever! Next week is a busy week, school starts again and I have to start the name change process, so I'm hoping to just relax this weekend. So happy for Friday!

I think living in a small apartment made me de-clutter stuff and also I just don't buy as much because I just have no room for it.

Grad school orientation starts today - I will be spending the weekend on campus. I don't wanna. I just wanna stay home and hang with my pups. Overwhelming but it will be good to kick it off.

I start Grad school this year as well. My classes start next month and while I am excited but I am also a little scared because I'm not sure how I am going to pull this off working full time and being single mom. I know I will enjoy it once it starts.

I just got a message on OKC "I hope you really like big dicks" Does this ever work for a person? I liked his profile previously because seemed normal from that. wtf

I often wonder what women respond to those messages to encourage that behavior.  Is this tactic scrawled on some bathroom door somewhere?  smdh.

Hope your love of big dicks doesn't keep you from this guy, who probably has a 3 incher.

Well. I'm officially divorced. I moved out for the first time over 2 years ago. Moved out for good 14 months ago. I think it kind of felt like this day would never come and now it did and it took 10 minutes and boom, done. I'm more sad than I thought I'd be. XH came to court bc he didn't have anything else to do. It would have been easier without seeing him. Now I'm sitting at the SS office to apply for my name change.

I need this week to end. But even when it does I have to wake up at 6:30 am, drive five horus for a client meeting, stay overnight and wake up early monday, drive five hours back, then do my work for that day. Everything is so stressful. I never really get a break. I worked through my vacation in vegas. There wasn't a day that went by over xmas break that someone wasn't bugging me. I've pretty much had it. I'm taking Thursday totally off (I have no meetings) and I told everyone I was leaving my phone at home (which I am).

Otherwise just counting down until my last call of then. Then I'm gonna smoke a bowl and zone out while watching some trashy TV for the rest of the night. I'm also making myself a small filet mignon with butternut squash (yea, yea I know I was just complaining about being overweight, but I do pretty well with high protein/high fat)

It is a weird feeling for sure. Especially when it is so "easy" to undo a life together. 10 minutes, judge asks if you want to do it, and then you are done.

I'm not looking forward to the weekend much. I will be with my kids which is good, but I will miss talking to adults because I'm pretty stressed about what the x is up to.

[bl]

mp congrats on going back, such an awesome step. I registered but never signed up for classes .
TR hugs its an exciting day, but I totally get how its crazy that in 10 minutes everything is officially over.

I am counting down for this day to be over!

Today has been a productive day at work. I made a list this morning and am about halfway done. That hasn't happened in a long time. Found out this morning that I won tickets to a local hockey game tonight so I'm really excited about that. I'm taking tonight off work completely then I'll spend the next 2 days reviewing hundreds of pages of client documents and creating a summary. I can do this, but I'm pretty sure I'll be exhausted by Sunday night.

For my Christmas break, I had to make a conscious decision of leaving my work computer at home. People are good in the sense that I do not get phone calls but I do get emails and requests.

For my vacation back in july, I took my computer and I worked at least half a day for the two weeks I was gone. The result was that by December I was so done that I did not give a fuck any more. You get burned out and you are not nearly as productive. You need a mental break from work!

Thank you for validating me! I mean I had time "off" but mentally I was never away from it you know? I just don't want to think abut it all the time.

I just bought tickets to see Rainn Wilson in a one-man monologue thing. My goal for 2016 is spend my money on experiences, not stuff. I have have enough stuff in my life, I want to have more memories. So far, so good! (one week in, lol)

ETA: Although...I am on the hunt for some cute snow boots. Even though I live in LA, I visit Utah quite often, and always every winter, so why not? But I want them to be kind of cute since I will wear them going out at the Sundance Film Festival.

But cute, comfortable, warm, stylish snow boots are not as easy to find as you may think. I think I might just go all in on the tack factor and get moon boots.

I tossed and turned all night last night, so I'm pretty useless today. I made some headway at work, but now I'm eating dinner and doing nothing but watching shows online.

My ankle has improved quite a bit...still have to be careful and no running yet, but it's definitely going in the right direction!

I got an email this morning from my lawyer saying that our settlement agreement is ready to be signed. Monday we will each go in and sign and then the lawyer will take it to the judge and the divorce will be final. I am hoping to have all of this done by the end of the week. I am excited and sad all at once.
