Update
So I know that I haven't posted for a while. But I really don't want the reputation of being an emo old person.
Craig and I are definitely separating. I don't say divorce mostly because I don't see him filing for one and until I can take care of a few more pressing financial issues I don't want to spend the money. When I say that I don't see him filing I mean that although he rarely speaks to me and looks at me like I am the devil incarnate that his belief on divorce is that there is no reason other than infidelity. Considering the financial obligations that he is leaving me with I will probably file about this time next year.
I am still waiting for my credentials to practice at the University of WA. Currently they are waiting on about 4-5 pieces of information. Some of those are things that they needs to look up. If for some reason it is not done in 4 weeks I will have to continue working here until the process is complete.
While I am waiting to make sure that I can work in WA, I am packing. Packing at our house also means that it is a time of thinning out stuff that probably shouldn't have been put away and throwing out trash that has accumulated. My trash man probably hates me. The past 3 weeks there has been mass quantities of stuff. David and I even used a construction dumpster so that there would be less to worry about. I am sure that there is still more to come. Goodwill usually benefits greatly when we move and have already received 3 donations with at least one or two more planned.
If all goes as planned I should be on the road heading west in 4 weeks. Today officially starts 9 days off from work. The plan is to use the time for a massive attack on the packing. Next week I am packing everything that I don't need to survive for the last 3 weeks that we will be here. Like I doubt that I will be making cookies during those last 3 weeks.
Usually I am so happy and excited about being off work, even if I have a ton of work to do. Just not being at work is usually a time for relaxation. But right now home is a place of stress. I have no place of solace and rejuvenation. Two days a weeks I can semi-relax. It amounts to 24 hours of complete relaxation and 8 of knowing that it will end soon. But this too will end in about 4 weeks.
On a person health note, I have lost about 10 pounds in the past month. It equals about one inch less in all measurements! I have clothes that either don't fit or are really loose. I can wear clothes that I decided to buy when they were tight. I have been walking on my days off and trying to not let my stress control my eating. This week has not been good. This morning I am waiting for a small rainstorm to pass so I can get out and get my walk done. In a perfect world I would lose another 10 pounds before I start my new job. But since I am not living in a perfect world I will be happy if 5 pounds would disappear from my body. So off to dodging raindrops, cause it looks like the small rain storm has decided to invite some friends and it is still dry here even though the radar says it is raining.
