Stuff
So in three days it'll have been two years since I filed for divorce. So much has happened since then that it feels like that life belonged to some other girl. Like it was a story I read about. I am very glad that I did it though. Chris and I are *so* much better off this way. I know that I'm happier, and from what I can tell, he is too. Yay for that.
Since last we spoke, my garden has pretty much expired, with the exception of the basil. Three of my basil plants are over three inches tall, and the other one is growing out instead of up. I need to go ahead and stop procrastinating and transplant them.
I haven't really been posting because honestly, there has been nothing to say. John and I are doing well and we are very much enjoying living in a house instead of an apartment. The house has issues, but in light of this possible $8,000 for new home buyers coupled with the fact that we're going to be in this house for at least the next five or so years is pushing me towards purchasing. I am currently initiating the conversation via email with my realtor to find out what he thinks.
I've been scared to death for my job lately. Dr. Brown has been instituting insane new policies and firing people and/or disbanding their departments all over the place. He refuses to think that it's the economy that is responsible for the largest decline in Brown Hand Center history and is blaming his employees, because obviously someone is screwing up and he's going to find them. We're expanding even through all this, opening new clinics in Dallas, Austin and finally San Antonio, and with all that most likely we're going to have to hire another payables person. Which does, I have to admit, make me feel a little more confident. Only time is going to tell.
I'm working hard on saving money and in fact will have my credit card paid off in October. I've carried that balance since 2006, so it's going to feel damn good to finally be rid of it.
Just finished a book called "The Girlflesh Institute." There was an amazing amount of "omgwtfbbq" in that book. Very funny indeed.
I recently got to spend some time with friends and I was really happy about it, albeit a little nostalgia struck. I need to figure out a way to do that more often. I miss y'all.
