I met with the Attorney for the Post Decree Consultation today and found out that the main problem with our divorce paperwork was that she didn’t disclose her condo which she retained. I actually didn’t write in the maintenance that I paid her 11-months either, so she’s paid off and nothing is owed to her. What you say doesn’t matter, and it’s what is written that is what you have to abide by. I don’t ever have to pay her anything and he advised me to not write to her again. I don’t need to and don’t desire any contact with her. She’s volatile and unpredictable. I think that I set up my Gmail label correctly too, so I won’t ever see anything from her. We haven’t exchanged text messages in 15-months, and so I deleted everything that we’d ever texted to each other awhile back. I don’t need to block her. It’s done.

I’m moving forward with my life and feel like the darkness is clearing. I went to my son’s work today and he wasn’t there. He can’t have dinner with me on Saturday night because he’s going to the Taylor Swift movie thing with his gf and family, so I’m going to go to see him at work this weekend. I want to see him once a week. I don’t want to ever live with him (or anyone else) again, but want to be a constant in his life.

I met with the landscaper again today. He is going to run one more water line and install three sprinkler heads and then I can have a nice small grass patch for my dogs. Watering it by hand has proven way too time consuming and sometimes I’m not at home, so it’s impossible. His company can also do concrete and he has no problem just patching the strip that was damaged by the previous neighbor’s leaky sprinkler system and the triangle area damaged by my evaporative cooler that is now dead. He’s cool and trustworthy.

I only work 5-7 until Tuesday, so I’m finally going to get some of the stuff that has piled up on me done. I have kickball tonight after I’m done with work and am going to go to the bar afterward. I didn’t go last week and our team manager wanted me to, but I told her that I just needed to stay home and be with my pets. I like to socialize a little bit when I’m not at work. I’m playing pickleball tomorrow morning and seeing Brooklyn on Sunday. Monday is carpet cleaners–they’re also doing some of the furniture too–the piano movers, and likely the remaining irrigation. Life is motoring along.
