which means two things. One, the year is half over and two, we're fast approaching the one year anniversary of the midday move. Which, is this coming Friday. Ugh, and my birthday is fast approaching. Which also means, I'm not divorced yet. But, alas, things might be moving. But I'll still be celebrating another birthday married to that ass.
I've gotten so afraid of calling my lawyer because I'm just so sick of getting bad news. Hence, Wednesday night. After a night out with the girls, scoring a good goodie bag then going over to the bf's house to cuddle and have ice cream, I made the long journey home to find my mother waiting up. I figured she wanted to see what we got for the goodie bag. But it was the letter from my lawyer that I think intrigued her.
I should learn, rule of thumb. Don't open letters from your lawyer at midnight.
Obviously someone doesn't want to go to trial but still wants to yank my chain. He wants $8100 from me in marital expenses. I went to bed. But not without leaving my lawyer a voice mail at 1 am saying that is horse shit.
What in the hell does he think I racked up in marital expenses that totals 8100 when I had my own credit cards? The next morning, I had my mother on my back telling me I didn't owe him a thing but if I had to pay him to get him off my back I would but I'm not shelling out 8100 when he's already got the f'ing house and everything in it. I left the house in tears and fired off an email to my lawyer explaining my position.
Later that afternoon, he emailed me saying he got the proof from the other laywer and he'll review it this week and I am to call next week for an appointment. I can't wait to see what he thinks I owe him.
In other news, I bought my divorce presents. Which came back as a bad dose of karma. I ordered shoes and a clutch that I couldn't pass up, the box came on Thursday. Its staring at me. I had the items gift wrapped. So I would have something to open up on divorce day. For once, I actually felt guilty about spending that money because I've been working so hard on paying off my credit cards. I still have two divorce presents to buy. I'll wait til next month to get them. And I'll be adding another dose of heaping guilt to that one as well.
I signed up for all these 5K's as a payback to the jerk for pissing me off. I did my first one and have two more this week. Then, I found kickboxing classes that I think I'm going to sign up for. For every achievement, I'll buy myself a present. Happy upcoming birthday to me.
I paid for my class at school this week. It will be good to get back into the darkroom. That is where I feel the most comfortable.
With the bf going to see family, that left me a friday night open. I was going to go undercover and sit home to get some stuff done but -- that couldn't happen. I ended up going over to an old friends house to have drinks and cheese...when I got there, I couldn't turn around. Frienemy in the house.
The girl that was there is still a close friend of the girl who blew my 'affair' wide open to the ex. I played it cool, not saying much while my friend pulled me into the house and apologized.
What I said wasn't lies, it was truth and we'll see what gets back to the ex.
I basically said I was awarded a photography grant, they know I'll be in NYC for photography and they know I shoot in the city. All which is true. I also mentioned that I have a FOID card now.
I know I shouldn't hide from these people but sometimes its just easier not to deal with them.
I can't wait to make the appointment with the lawyer on monday....
