New Year, new thinking..

Hi Coly - That's great that you are dreaming dreams.

It is interesting how many common themes there are in many of our stories. My ex never mentioned divorce either. And I expect that she's not unpacked very many of the boxes she picked up. I do know that her lawyer contacted me via mine for the original marriage certificate. I responded that it was in a box that she had picked up in March marked "Important Papers" and in a folder labeled "Wedding". Presumably an unopened box. And to think how much stock we both put in the fact that they'd left stuff behind. Even though we will never know it is possible that she only moved things along because I told her I was done and gave her a checklist of things to do.

I am glad that the last of her stuff is out of the house now. There was a real feeling of relief when I got home knowing that I no longer had to worry about throwing out stuff that she might want. Having this be "my" home is a good feeling. I recall at Christmas making dinner and thinking that in many ways it was nice being single in that I didn't have to make compromises to please others. Like Westo has commented, it's rather like a holiday at times. So - since you asked, my weekend should be pretty typical unless S23 wants us to go to the memorial for his friend who passed away. Housework, a bit of relaxing, a bit of stuff for the office that has to be done on a weekend. A "normal" weekend without stress.
