Four Weeks In.

Amazing. One month has gone by since life was turned upside down.

Went on a date with my old boyfriend last night. We went to a show and had a good time. Took my mind off of things. I imagine we'll hook up again soon but I'm trying to keep things in perspective. And it was so strange being with another guy! Even though I've known him for years... just felt like I was cheating all night. Can't explain it. Like, I found myself wondering if anyone that had known me and my ex was there and saying, "WTF is Deanna doing with that other guy!??" But then I reminded myself that Douche cheated on me and does not want to reconcile so I was able to relax a little after that. I'm sure it will be even easier next time we go out.

I've been reading some books to help me get through this mess. Just finished reading Surviving Separation and Divorce which was okay. I don't know about the whole "secure a financial future" part - because I don't remember too much about that. But it was nice reading about the author's own story - mostly because she also had children with special needs. So now I'm reading It's Called a Break-Up Because It's Broken by the same guy that wrote "He's Just Not That Into You" and it's taking a humorous spin on just getting over the jerk and moving on. I'm only on chapter 3 though so I'll let you know if it's worth reading later. So far, it's kind of funny. Hmm. Here I am reading self help books on how to survive this crap and I'll just bet that Douche is reading comic books or novels. HATE. HIM.

And no, still not done painting the night tables so those "after" shots are going to have to wait for another day. I'm keeping so busy now-a-days that I don't have too much down time for painting! I also didn't get my hair cut the other day - long story. And now I have to wait until Feb 9th to get in to see her. Ugh!! My hair will be totally gross by then...
