My Newfound Social Life
Of course, all this de-cluttering is awesome and all, but let's face it - there's no way my weenie-armed self could be doing this alone! I have friends! In real-life! Who knew?!
Well, I was bitter and pissed-off at some people because evidently I was the quintessential "last to know" where my husband's affair was concerned. Maybe every single person I knew didn't know, but anyone he hung out with semi-regularly or more was not clueless. I knew he was a jackass and that all the things he thought about me and my ability to conduct life were wrong - but I felt like everyone was 'taking his side'.
I couldn't be happier, then, that he told me in February he went back to the slut. Because hello - stupid move! And *everyone* saw that. Except him, of course. So now he's living in one room in her recently remodeled town home she purchased from foreclosure. His business isn't any better off without me, he's still the same guy. So yeah.
I have a social life. Because pardon the 'nanny-nanny-boo-boo' aspect, but it was heartwarming to see that the people in my life weren't stupid, just trying not to take sides. Hard to do when someone else does it for you, though!
And one of the things I do is hang-out with my new (and highly ironic) best friend and a new guy to our sci-fi group, and watch "Game of Thrones". They watch it when it comes out, but trek over here every Wednesday for companionship and to let me see it because I don't have HBO. Or cable. New-best-friend is also the one who helped me out with the house, including cutting down the branches from the neighbor's tree that had been growing onto my roof for years. Even ex's own mother couldn't shame him into taking care of that. (Which is not a shock, since she enabled his dumb ass) Of course, it's a guy. But it's not 'like that'. If I say it *never* will be then I will curse myself and be doomed to come back and eat crow. :-)
Well, he's here now and we're going to watch "24" this week, instead. Because no GoT last Sunday. Oh well. I'm good with that. Because I cleaned the bathroom and just the fact that my living room is clean and I had time to think of it is truly awesome.
