I've been having a pretty good day today considering. Dealing w/creditors which is sssooooo much fun! They won't bend at all, but I don't have any room to give in so eventually something will have to happen. My credit score isn't too terrible (somehow I gained 15 points - only paid off one bad debt and everything else is still in collections) but I am looking at the positives (600 is within sight!). I think I can still get out of this w/o a bankruptcy. The one agency I tried to talk to had said I would be out of collections in 6 months (which is this months payment) but now they are saying 12 months. On my credit report it doesn't even say I have been paying and I don't think that's fair.
Wes, I liked his bike to the point that it helped w/his identity. (That's a sad analogy, but true) It's a bittersweet memory now; when he first bought it everything else took second place and somehow it came w/new friends! Personally, I'm scared to death of the thing; but I told him that and asked him a few times if he would teach me to ride. The last time we discussed it was after our argument (the one that brought me here - I brought up the R talk!) So as a peace offering, I sent an ecard that night asking if he would pencil me in for a ride this summer. That's when he told me he sold it and not very nicely! But since I live in a state that manufactures them, I should be able to bring up the subject again sometime. He always liked the fact that we have a 'no helmet' law here. And I still hope to work there someday, it's on my top 5 list of companies I would enjoy working for. hmm. Maybe I should go check the job postings again!
Overall, a good day still. I got up this morning thinking I might just be ready to move on but instead I just put ex out of my mind as much as I could for the day. (credit stuff reminds me of him, which I noticed that my report says I am still married? hmm. I'll ponder that another day.) Enjoyed son today and worked on GAL.
