I know, I know... I kinda fell off the face of the earth for a moment there. Life has just been really busy. Been working 45-50 hours a week and trying to work on my house. Paul handed over the keys on a Saturday and when I went in, I was surprised to find that the house wasn't completely trashed. Yes, it's dirty, but aside from him taking everything that wasn't nailed down (and several things that were), it's good to be back in my house. Joe and I are renovating. If you're a facebook friend, you've probably seen some pics.
This weekend I've been painting the bedroom. It's just about finished. I've got the bedding and all that good stuff to decorate it and make it pretty. It's gonna take a few months to get the floors put in. Getting the carpet ripped out won't take too long, but buying flooring is going to take a minute. I've decided to lay laminate in the kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and bedroom. We're going to rip out the crappy floor Paul put in the bathroom and lay tile down, replace the shower and paint. Gonna paint the dining room and kitchen and make the house my own. I'm so excited!
Work has been going pretty well. I work crazy hours, but it's paying the bills. I enrolled at Ivy Tech for the fall to try to finish up my degree. It's gonna take about a year and a half and then I can go on to either Ball State or St. Mary of the Wood's. I have a date for my birthday. I'm moving forward and I'm doing really, really well. I haven't been this happy in a long, long time.
In other news, Paul was arrested a few weeks back. Twice, actually. All I can do is shake my head. He will end up back in prison and will waste the rest of his life. It's pathetic and sad, but he's doing it to himself. Something I've learned over the last few months is that a.) he wasn't the one and he didn't deserve me, b.) I can't save him and finally, that he is going to do what he does and it doesn't have to bother me anymore. I'm just so over it. Counting the days until the divorce is final and I'm free forever.
I just... don't feel anything for him anymore. It's strange to be five months into a separation and just be over it. There was a moment where I didn't think I'd ever get over him. Now I see him for what he is and I'm so glad to be free. His life is going downhill fast and he was taking me with him. I have a shot now to find true happiness. I am so thankful to be able to follow my dreams!
Also, I have a date for my birthday. It took a while to feel comfortable saying yes to being asked out... but I find myself being excited at the thought of meeting a good man. I'm just filled to the b brim with happiness. :)
So, that's what's been going on. Will try to blog more often. Keep an eye out for pics on facebook of the renovations!
