Today was my last day at the branch I've been working at. After all the uncomfortable tension in the beginning, I actually got to *liking* the gals I worked with (for the most part anyway). They had a little going-away party for me (Patrina cooked wings and fried chicken, Marcia got a cake, our mail courier made me his oh-so-yummy cheesecake) and they got me a card. I was..surprised, actually. In a good way, tho. Hopefully the next branch will be just as comfortable to be in. I know I did the right thing changing shifts, and tho I fought hard to get out of this branch in the beginning, I'll miss the gals there. I think the shiftchange will be good for Kaitlynne, and me. Was really hard on me not seeing Alex much at all during the week. I guess it would be safe to say I cling to him, but I guess not in a bad way cuz he clings back. I cherish every moment we do get together, tho they're few and far between at the moment. Thankfully, all will change soon. Kaitlynne needs it, most importantly. I told her today that the schedule would mean more time for me to be home w/ her, she got a kick out of that. I cut her hair yesterday and it just looks so precious, I love it..should have done it sooner (had to wait for a day she'd agree to it-she was growing it long). It's a little bob, just under her ears..so cute. I'll have to get a pic of it.
I turned in all the paperwork to the courthouse yesterday..should be getting my hearing date soon. So excited, can't wait to get that part of my life far behind me and continue on with the future that I look forward to with Alex and Kaitlynne. Altho losing our daughter in January has forever changed me..hardened my heart irrevocably..I'm still happy to be here...be with my family. Some don't have what I have-and I used to be one of those people, forever hoping to have just this. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm not day-dreaming anymore...I really have a beautiful daughter, soon to be marrying my best friend who is everything to me that I ever wanted in a life-partner, a beautiful (paid for..woohoo) home waiting, food on the table, etc... Was a long, hard journey to get to where I am today...I'm proud of myself for making that one huge decision and following thru with it so that I *could* have a better life for Kaitlynne and I. Aside from my children, walking out that door was my greatest achievement. That's not a dig at Larry, either...he wasn't the man I married at the time I left. And I *grew up*.
I guess that's enough for now. Alex promises me that we'll have the house packed up by the time the weekend is over...see how that goes..lol.
