Ah, Sunday - actually the start of my work week but I do have all day to sit and relax, drink coffee and read the paper.
I rearranged our living space to have a bigger living room/tv room - my daughter and I are sitting in it together in the afternoons, her with her projects and me on the computer. The birds liked the old arrangement which was in their room - the new arrangement has some perches for them but they don't like change!
My ex thought we might be able to just go down the street to our district court to file the papers - that would be much easier than having to go to Cambridge to file. The Cambridge branch has a "walk-in" session where you can get everything over with at one time (filing and hearing on the same day) but if we can file in the next town over and then go to court a different day, then we would probably spend about 2 hours instead of 8 to get the divorce finalized.
So, I guess I can say I have been distracted and not doing well with food and certainly not exercising - maybe a conscious realization that I am so affected will help. I have to admit, I am surprised I haven't gained those 10 pounds back!
My hairdresser is getting divorced too - her situation brings to mind a lot of what was bad in my relationship, which I had suppressed in my memory. I guess in 6 months when all the deciding and planning and paperwork are all finished I'll be in a better frame of mind to look back, to look forward, to finally say "this is better.
I do have plans: I am taking a tax-preparation course in the fall, and I am going to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and see what comes of that. Also, I am toying with the idea of applying for the REI outdoor training job - not that I have great qualifications but it sounds like a cool job, training people how to hike and camp and get outdoors!
Pizza for breakfast - all the food groups! And coffee. I invited some people for a barbecue later - unfortunately only the lame people who have nothing better to do are going to come so I don't look forward to this because I also invite their teenage kids!)
Hope you all have a great Sunday!
