Under my Hat

The kids know... my dad knows... maybe a few other family members... I'm certain my soon-to-be-ex's family all know, as she has gotten quite a bit of advice from several of them.  Still.. I'm certain that we are headed in a positive direction.  My daughters and I are closer than we've ever been... it seems as though the air has been cleared and things are all laid out on the table.  During this Thanksgiving, it was an incredible meal... good company.. great conversation.  No one dwelled on the upcoming finalization of the divorce... nor on my move.  About the move.. I have many people who have told me when it is supposed to happen, but there has been nothing in print.  I cannot move forward with my plans until I have some type of written confirmation. I'm positive all will work out the way it is supposed to... and I have begun to look forward to the whole change in my life.  I started working overtime at work... this week alone, I have worked 32 hours...

LOTS... and I do mean LOTS of stuff has been happening in my life. My last day where I'm currently working is December 20, I will have the week of Christmas off and then on the 29th.. I'm supposed to report to the Harpers Ferry, WV area.. It's about an hour outside of DC... maybe a little more. I am going to be loading up a truck and small trailer pulled behind and trying to make a go of it... I am only taking my clothes.. and the things in my room.. plus a couple of bowls.. plates.. a pot and a pan... that's pretty much it... oh.. and we have a spare table and chair.   The thing is... I'm gonna be limited in resources as I'm going to be paying 1500 a month to my spouse for child support and maintenance. If I work it right... I should have enough to live on.. but it might be a bit tight for a little while.  I want to get my shit straight before I do anything else.  I am not looking to be in any other relationship at the moment... I am not living my life for any...
