Hi all! Long time, no talk.
My divorce was final 10/21. Mg ex *finally* began moving out yesterday. He found an apartment around the corner from our marital home. I’m refinancing into my name and will receive my approval letter tomorrow.
He has a girlfriend and is taking our son on a “family vacation” to include her, to meet his family. Funny, none of my ex-in-laws have a relationship with my ex. When he asked if they wanted him to visit, they didn’t respond. They also didn’t check on him when we evacuated due to this year’s wildfires.
I digress.
I’ve been dating constantly all year. One guy stuck for almost 4 months and then ghosted me the week after my birthday. Many others have lasted one or two dates. I did go out a couple of times with a girl who, while too busy to continue things with me at the moment, offered to check on my mom‘s cat while we were all evacuated. (Ironically, she works for the power company that is responsible for the fires.)
My ex-husband took me out for a drink on what would’ve been our 19th wedding anniversary (I know, I know). During the night, he bragged that his sex life with his new flame was “Good, but it lacks that little extra something.” Jackass. That night really erased doubts in my mind about leaving him.
Our son is 16 and a junior in high school. He has not yet begun dating, but there is a girl in his class who likes to blow up his phone. He is going to be able to walk to his dad’s new place, saying that it is half a mile away. Which is good since he refuses to take driver’s ed just yet. When I ask him how he feels about his parents having split up, he says, “ I just want you guys to be happy”. He’s such a good kid. He is currently getting all good grades in school and perhaps wants to go to a prestigious music school once he’s graduated from high school and gone to the local junior college.
This past summer, I got to take a 3 1/2 week vacation to Europe and Northern Africa; just me and my son, who turned out to be a really good traveler. That was literally a trip! I could write a very long post just about our vacation.
This year, several things decided to begin falling apart around the house… The washing machine quit working. I literally ordered the parts to fix it and did most of the repairs myself. I had to replace the fluorescent lights in the kitchen and had my mom over to help. One of the cats developed severe anemia and nearly died – I rushed him to the emergency vet for treatment and all I can say about that is thank God for pet insurance! I did this all more or less on my own.
What else? This year I decided to try out doing stand-up comedy again and about once a month or sometimes more frequently I will perform at an open mic night. In fact I took a date to a comedy show last night that was being emceed by my closest male friend, and he watched me do a set. Haven’t gone through a very bizarre divorce this year, you can imagine what kind of material I have. 😊
I plan to spend the rest of 2019 doing some home improvements, making the place totally mine. I will spend New Year’s Eve watching my best male friend perform comedy at a very highly visible showcase along with my kinky friends. My son and I are going to spend the remainder of that week visiting my extended family in Arizona for the first time in almost 5 years.
2019 has been a hell of a ride!!
