Thankfully Friday. Now just over a week has passed since the start of the new course. It has been very, very busy. At this time, placement for next year is uncertain, since the school board plans to sell off the property and might also let go of the Continuing Education program for adults altogether. Have 19 years seniority. It would be good teaching at a large high school again with a bigger staff, and working with the zaniness of adolescents.
Unbelievably the process for my divorce has finally started this week. Monday I met with a lawyer recommended by ex-husband's friend's brother's wife who I happened to run into at Starbucks recently. Quite literally an act of God. By Tuesday was applying for a loan at the bank and paying my retainer at the law firm the following day. Best money every spent. Just to TELL a third party what my ex has done is a relief. My lawyer thinks there is a good chance that the judge will rule in favor of joint custody, and we will ask for compensation (pain and suffering) as well as spousal support. Much appreciated after all this time, 21 years this May to be exact.
Today have managed to stick to my 26 food points. Would be awesome to drop two pounds by Monday night`s WW meeting. (Or any at all lol). Four extra pounds have crept up since last month. Not putting them on my chart here until the line is well and truly on the downturn though!! Less depressing. ;-)
Reaching for the old zip and zest of happier times. Fortunately the weather is turning for the better and there are some new songs on my running playlist. Hope to exercise outdoors more frequently. Also hoping my mood will lighten up sufficiently to head out that door this weekend! Have managed to put in one run every week at least. Can do five minutes of anything....and still thinking how great a puppy would be nowadays.;-)
More importantly, trying not to feed a hurting heart with food. Want to feed the stomach only when it is truly hungry. Have faith that this longing human soul can be nourished by a deeper relationship with God. That is my hope. He is mighty, and we can depend on Him for everything.
On to some BBC DVDs this evening. Girls night in. Hope my buddies have a great evening. Blessings. ;-)

Hey, Maria...so glad to see that you have finally been able to get started with the divorce proceedings. That must be a huge relief for you! Great job with the food, and I have no doubt that once the weather warms up, the exercise will follow. A puppy does indeed sound great. There is nothing quite like the exuberance, unbridled joy and love that a puppy provides. These animals are truly a gift from God! Have a wonderful girls night in, and fantastic weekend. Hugs!
