I posted here last week with my long story about the order against my house, and the fact that I needed to make some fast moves legally, and start considering the next steps that need to be undertaken.
I talked to a lawyer, filed some more papers in the court. Talked to a realtor.
So the next step is to clean some stuff up here, and find a place to move to. Like in a lot of places, we are suffering a rental shortage, and the rents are sky high, so a lot of nice people in my area are keeping an ear to the ground for us.
On my post the other day, I received some great advice, and some much needed good vibes. It is hard to operate on little sleep and eating on the go. I am finding that many of my clothes do not fit at all this week. I slipped under a size 0 again. urp. But. I am eating again. :) Chrohn’s disease is one of those things….It can lay almost dormant for me if I behave with food and keep my stress down. That isn’t possible right now, so food runs right through me.
My girlies are struggling, but the school has as I said before, been amazing. They are helping us in ways I could not have imagined.
My friends? OMG. All of you who have been following this? I cannot express my gratitude enough. When this is all over, and we get through this, I will be paying it forward.
I am still stashing away money, for the rainy day that is coming soon. I am still working on other financial avenues here. Like so many, my health stuff from a few years back kinda wrecked my credit ratings. But I have been working hard for 3 years to rebuild that. I was lucky that I didn’t have actual medical bills. Just the loss of income from a family breakdown and being on medical leave, and the ensuing lesser hours from da’leg.
I am still locking and booby trapping my bedroom door at night. I think this is something that needs to end soon, legally I am stuck. My ex needs to get a place so that he can be by himself and so that we do not have to live in this very uncomfortable, and rather tense situation. It is so hard on the girlies, they simply do not know what to do or say, and the mercurial mood of their father does affect them. But, it’s again a money issue.
It’s not going to be over till it is over I am afraid.
Thank you SO much AGAIN to everyone who sent funds and support. I am in awe.
The pootie and woozle pics in the comments were AWESOME! Oldest daughter loved them very much. :)
The advice was great. Sometimes it leads you down a different path. It sparks ideas. Thank you all for that too.
Edited cause I forgot until just now: Thanks to all those that reblogged and shared that post.
With much love. Thank you my friends.
