Updates on lotsa stuff

Okay, I feel like a million years has gone by since Friday...

So, I go home on Friday, do nothing...lol. Wake up on Saturday, kinda down still from trying to figure all this out...the house and money situation...just all of it. I'm really kinda down...so I just lay there on the couch doing nothing. My son had spent the night with his friend, so he calls me around 1, and asks me to come get him. So I run to the mailbox on my way out, and lo and behold, my tax return is there!!!

So, I call Eric and we go cash it, and I split it with him, like I'm supposed to do. I could have been vindictive, but I wasn't, couldn't, whatever. So, he said to me, let's go look at cell phones, I'm sick of us running out of minutes, and I don't like you being over there without a phone...I said, okay. We go to Sprint. He pays his and my deposit, pays for his and my phone...and the service. I now have a much better plan, not prepaid. I will not run out of cell minutes every month. All incoming calls are FREE!!! So, that's cool. He and I can walkie talkie each other too. He did this on his own. Guilt? I don't know. But, I appreciated it. I told him thank you. So then, I took him back to his mom's house (I drove...). I went home.

I called the landlord guy Andy yesterday and the place is officially mine. I pay the $50 today. He dropped it from $150 to $50. Which is really nice. I don't know when I can move, because of utility deposits and all that, and not having any days off from work, around paydays, etc., but it will be ASAP.

I can pay my $94 ticket (that I'd forgotten about) and my license won't be suspended.

I got groceries yesterday. I took my son to the movies and we went out for lunch after. I bought a book. I bought him a DVD. So, no manic shopping. But I am a bit manic. Its under control, right now, and I'm watching it closely. I can't sleep. Tell tale sign. I've not been able to sleep in about a week now. Its making me nuts.

Eric also told me he would help me move, and he would help me financially with the move if I needed it...I did really well on Saturday with him...I didn't cry, lol. I was proud of myself...not even when I dropped him off...or saw his mom, and sister, did I cry...it was nice...yesterday, I was a bit down...but I've been manic, and my son was on my nerves SOOOO much, becuz he was bored all day, that I lost it on him a couple times, and then I cried...but i think that's normal.

I think things are getting better, bottom line. I know that moving out from where I am is helping. But I think the shock of all that happened is over, and I'm processing it, and I've come to accept it, and now its time to move on...that is what I'm doing...I'm no longer paralyzed with it, so it feels better.

Wow, much too long. Sorry.

Love to all of you,

Keli

Keli,


I am SO glad the guy was willing to work with you on the new place, so that's one less worry for you.


DD has a Sprint cell and that incoming free is the BEST; plans may differ, but I think she can make calls to any other Sprint phone for free too.
