get busy focusing on the good

So, life the past week and a half has been trying on so many levels. Very short recap of the bad: my soon to be ex is insane. Walked out of the divorce hearing. Harassed me via e-mails all last week. Spent the weekend e-mailing me beyond creeper status e-mails that were borderline stalker. I filed the conversion to divorce papers. He "hired" an attorney. He e-mailed me asking me to sit down and discuss what he wants from me financially.

Let me think about that.

No.

We had an open discussion already when we agreed to the terms of the separation agreement and dissolution. I gave you exactly what you wanted when it should have been the other way around.

Please get out of my life.

Now for the good:

Spent Friday evening with a friend. Listened to music, drank, ate pizza and made s'mores over my stove. It was pretty fantastic.


 

 C plays on a football league Saturday mornings so I went to the Cleveland Flea, shopped around, bought an old vintage magazine rack for my studio and ended up stopping and talked to a Jehovah's Witness for almost an hour. Why did I do that? Because I actually had time to. I actually had an hour to just say fuck it and sit and talk to some random stranger. So I did. Her name was Gail.

 

Visited my SIL, nieces and nephew. I can't get enough of these kids.

 

C came over later that night and we had big plans to go out and find a bar to watch the Mayweather fight ... instead we put on some music, poured some drinks and rented the match on TV. He was hysterical. Literally made us sit "front row" on the couch and went pretty nuts over it. The most surprising part? I was completely into it. He spent a lot of the afternoon showing me YouTube videos about boxing and Mayweather and other fighters and I was actually interested. Maybe it was the boxing itself or maybe (the more likely situation) it was just listening to C talk about it ;)

 

 

Sunday was insane. I had a senior session in the morning, baby shower in the afternoon and an engagement session an hour and a half away in the evening. When I got home I flat out crashed.

 

However, most bad ass, amazing baby shower I have ever been to. This is what happens when wedding vendors put on a baby shower:

 

Fully stocked bar (I had a grey goose and lemonade), fully catered, make your own lunch crepe station, huge dessert bar, flat screens with the Browns game on for the guys. It was amazing.

 

 

I know that the bad is going to keep coming my way for a bit while all of the details get worked out, so, I'm going to get busy focusing on the good.
