Now that I’ve made it through 48 hours of my lifestyle changes I feel better – or at least accomplished. Battling the extra weight and isolation has taken its toll on my psyche so I’m a little depressed, but I know that change will help me feel better.
Anyway, in addition to moving more and eating less (of the wrong foods) I have a giant list of tasks to check off within this hundred days. One was checked off today when our estate lawyer brought over the various legal docs for my parents to sign – including their wills and power of attorney letters, etc. It’s not something anyone wants to talk about but it had to be done and I’m relieved it’s all set in stone now and we don’t actually have to think about it again for a while.
I’ve also got my annulment papers sitting next to me on my desk, staring me down. I know it’s going to be difficult to rehash everything I went through in my marriage so I’ve been avoiding it. But, it has to be done. Not so much for me, but for my parents, who want only the best for me and would like me to meet a nice man and be able to get married again some day. I’d like that too, but I would be OK getting married in a backyard ceremony like my sister did 2 years ago (in my backyard.) But it’s important to them that this is another one of those things that is settled soon, so I’m going to do it. Since I’ve been dawdling and not tackling it for a few years…now is the time to do it.
