| Where did the time go? |
The week has flown by as if to say it
was merely a result of my imagination. It seems the older that I get
the faster the days, weeks, months and years go past as if I am only
dreaming the days events. Six months ago I left my husband, now I
don't actually remember what he looks like. I remember what the first
two look like, our wedding dates and one of their birthdays. Those
little details I cannot remember for this one; I supposed it could be
because I never actually cared.
Yes, I am aware that it is strange to
spend so many years with someone that you do not love, care about or
like. I am not sure what possessed me to stay with him; fear of the
unknown perhaps? I am going to chalk it up to a mistake lived and
learned from so that I can move on to the next phase of my life.
We had moved twice in a six month time
span. Part of it was isolation beginning to get to us. The other part
was fear that he would find us. He is not a smart man but he is
dangerous, letting a bottle of whiskey think for you is not the best
solution but that is what he would do. I cannot count the times that
my budget was thrown into a tailspin because of the cost associated
with what has to be the nastiest whiskey on the planet.
I am not aiming to create a post
bashing the man so I believe that not discussing him any further
would be best. He is a chapter of my life that is being filed under
mistakes and closed.
The baby is growing up so fast it is
making my head spin. The last two weeks have seen progress achieved
were it had been lost and the smile is returning to her face. My
beautiful, empathetic child is enjoying being a child without the
constraints of therapy each day after school but she still misses her
favorite therapist. I am not sure of her feelings for the school but
she is much happier each morning and each evening when she returns.
I have adjusted to the recent changes
rather well if I do say so myself. I am making appointments for
myself and when the weather is bright and sunny I am driving myself
on the nice flat land without difficulty. I am pricing items for the
move into my apartment because furniture is something that I am sure
to need if I'd like to sit somewhere besides the floor. There is a
stove and refrigerator in place and a laundromat on site. The cost to
wash is $1 and drying is seventy-five cents but I have to large
drying racks that eliminate the need for them. The bathroom has a
towel rack, shower rod and rails all around to hang up small items to
ensure nothing wet ends up in the laundry basket.
I am looking forward to the larger
space, and we already have a bed for the baby. She is going to be
thrilled to have room to run around until we get the place fully
furnished. My television is first on the list of items to replace.
Take a look around and you will notice
that the flash fiction is back. Hope your week was a good one, be
sure to take the time to stop and appreciate the little things.
