d_a_r_aRick and I filed for divorce about 2 weeks ago. Seeing as how it was just before my mom's birthday, mother's day and then my dad's birthday I just told them a little bit earlier this week. That's why I haven't talked about it on here until now because my dad does sometimes read this. So anyway - Rick has made and had an offer accepted on a house out near Gravel Lake and seems really excited about that. We're getting everything ready to get this house up for sale. There's lots of stuff to do from new gutters that are really needed to gardens that need to be put back in order to just plain cleaning everything. Our first open house is scheduled for the first weekend in June. BTW Rick I'm going to be going down to Berlin, OH w/ Beth that weekend so if you could handle anything the realtor needs handled that weekend that would be great. It should just be a case of making sure the place is neat, beds made etc. and then making sure to make yourself scarce for the showing.
I continue to sort through junk and think about the possibility of having a garage sale. I was thinking possibly this weekend - but I'm not going to be ready. Next weekend is Memorial Day so no way, then the following weekend we have the open house, but maybe I'll still do the garage sale the Thursday and Friday before and then just cart everything up that didn't sell and take it to Goodwill. That way the last of the junk would be out of here before the open house. Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I think I'll do that.
Dave and I have started dating. I think on some level both of us thought that if we did end up dating that we would wait a bit longer - maybe until my divorce was final - but we didn't. We will have our first official, out in public, date tomorrow evening. Part of me is a bit apprehensive that we will run into someone I know who isn't aware that Rick and I are divorcing and there will be awkwardness. Positive thoughts would be appreciated. Sometimes even now, because of the way I was raised and then conditioned in college, I still wonder if I'm doing the right thing even though I know I am. Maybe it's because it's almost 3am, but I'm not sure that made sense. I think it's time for bed.
