Well yesterday morning I had to be at the courthouse at 9am with my attorney to file our temporary orders papers. It was a facinating experience, I've never been before a judge. Because my ex wasn't there, my attorney got me a really good deal and it was a very quick thing because it wasn't contested. I was kind of in a funk all day though. Reality is starting to settle in that I'm getting a divorce. I truly never wanted this to happen. Although I've been more than aware of my ex's problems for quite some time, I really have been content. I never wanted a big grand life. Happy with my average house, etc. I've never been too demanding, naggy, and all that. I've loved being home with my girls and taking care of them and our house. I've always been grateful and content. I feel betrayed. I kept our vowes for all these years. Our anniversary is August 26, this will be 21 years. Our final hearing is Dec. 12 and it's over. I hope he is happy to be done with us all. He destroyed everything, lost everything, and my home and he gets to move on with his life in Mississippi or where ever he ends up. I haven't worked in 20 years, am 48, and not valuable in the business community at all. I have to start over. So instead of complaining, I need to get moving. I need a job!!
I just registered for 4 classes at our local community college that I attend. I registered for basic human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology (whatever that is), and medical terminology. YUCK to them all!!! lol
After I take these 4 classes, I can enroll in an online program that will enable me to become a medical coding and billing technician. It sounds like it will be hard work for me, I am an artist, not a science person, but I can do it. That should enable me to have at least a decent career making enough money to support myself over the years with decent benefits. Two of the classes I registered for don't even have times, location, days listed yet, but some of the classes are already closed so I had to jump on it and grab classes before they all close. I will have to check back daily to see if anything is posted if I need to make changes. At least I am registered for the 4 I need.
I'm hoping that with a part time job somewhere, doing free lance design work here and there, and selling my things on Etsy, I can keep going with the money my ex needs to send. Problem is getting him to send it!! He has a court order now, well will tomorrow anyway. But we shall see.
I must remain positive!!!
