My son made me dinner tonight.  It was so good, he’s a pretty decent cook for a 24 year old kid.  He gave me wine glasses for my birthday, I’d asked for them.  I have a few that match but most of them don’t.  He got me beautiful cobalt blue, 2 white wine glasses and 2 red.  I love them.  Cobalt blue is my favorite color. He’s such a good kid, I will miss him so much when we both move.

My birthday is tomorrow, but he celebrated with me tonight, he has to work late tomorrow.

It was a kind of rough day.  Underscored by my latest revelations.  I was tired, all day, because of working so much on the house this weekend.  Woke up in the middle of the night sore….got up and took some ibuprofen.  Work wasn’t hard, but I was trying to finalize insurance on the Florida house, deal with the closing docs, get some final numbers.  While I worked, while I was exhausted, while I tried once again, to put out of my mind the stuff Scott is capable of.  I can’t even fathom the depths to which he will go.

I was happy with the way the insurance worked out.  I thought the wind insurance only dealt with the roof, so I wasn’t going to buy it. The first quote we had was about $3600 a year for it, vs. $500 to $700 without it.  I was just going for basic homeowners.  Then an agent said, Deb, that close to the water?  It’s not just your roof, it’s any and all damage to your house caused by the wind.

Well, I can’t afford to lose the house, which I suppose is a real possibility a mile from the water.  So I said, get me some quotes, with a high deductible. I ended up with basic homeowners, with a $25oo deductible, and hurricane insurance with a $7000 deductible, for $1200.  So I can do that.  $100 a month.  Glad to have that resolved.

When I got home, I opened the closing docs and signed them all electronically. My sis will wire the money tomorrow, and I will own a home in Florida.  I have to have someone walk through the house once a week or once a month or something, so it’s not listed as vacant, lol, til I get there.  I think I can get my girlfriend down there to do that.

Pretty eventful birthday….Signed to sell my house here, signed the docs to buy a house there.  And I think maybe, finally, purged any leftover emotions for him that were lingering, saying, oh but what about this. No more.  Not another heartbeat will be wasted on that.

Big sigh, as I close my tired tired eyes, and un-crimp my shoulders.  My life is mine again.  The ties that bound, well let’s just say I hope the centripetal force of those now loosed ties smacked him somewhere where he won’t forget.

It’s all good.  Love and light, all.
