Closing a chapter
My decree absolute came through this morning ... so that's my marriage over, my involvement with U over. A chapter of my life that lasted six years, one month and nine days. I cried when I opened it, just for a minute - I knew it would be here any day, and I wanted it to come, but even so it was quite emotional to finally have that piece of paper in my hand. Part of me is still angry about the whole situation, especially the way that U has let everyone he knows think that everything was my fault and he was blame-free ... but hey, time to let it go. Life is infinitely better now - okay, I'm more skint than I was when married but I'm happier, the kids are happier ... and that's all that matters. Onwards and upwards!
On a completely different matter, I've decided to give the dreaded Flylady another go. I've tried it a few times before and unsubscribed in frustration at the vast number of nagging emails you get, but this house, after a year here, is a complete mess, and something needs to happen. So yesterday I shined my sink ... and my worktops ... and my cupboards ... and my fridge ... and the floor ... and am loving my new shiny kitchen. The next step is to sort out the dining room - it's where I work and as well as all the paper lying around from that, it's become a bit of a dumping ground. I've ordered a new, bigger desk, and once that's here I'll be rearranging the room so we can use the big storage cupboard again (it's full of stuff but inaccessible because the computer trolley is in front of the door!) and get things more organised.
