Also, today is my mom's birthday!
Also, today I got divorced.
I assumed that everyone (ya know, my zillions of followers) knew I might be getting a divorce when I wrote this post back in September. And posted this photo of myself crying, and this photo of me in the corner, and this photo - among others.
Based on a decent number of messages I received today, apparently not many people knew I was working on a divorce. Which leads me to believe that most of you probably don't realize that it was my second marriage.
I was married to Travis for five years before I ever even knew James existed.
Trav and I are still great friends, have nothing but love between us, and wish nothing but the best for each other. I've known him for at least 22 years.
I digress.
But that's what the September post led up to - today's divorce. In September, I suddenly disappeared and went into hiding for a month. Wow, that was craziness. Not even my parents knew where I was. During that time, I kinda-sorta lost my mind a bit - and got dangerously skinny. But my wits came back and I started to be less crazy, or whatever you want to call it. Think rationally - that's a good way to word it. During this difficult time in my life, I realized there are A LOT of people who love me and were worried about me before I even realized there was a problem.
I've kept up with my self-portrait project (minus those days I lost between Kim and my Gramma Sue). I've learned a lot about myself in these last 265 days -- I went from spending a lot of time alone, or alone with James. Gradually, I began spending more and more time with my family and friends -- just like I had during the years before. Life has changed a lot for me during the last 265 days and I have no clue what the future holds.
Everyday, something unexpected happens.
That's cool.
Oh and one last thing...
So today I felt all great about myself - wore my favorite skirt. Of course, after court the zipper broke and I couldn't get my skirt off. Jay fixed it (sorta).
Figures.
Like I said, everyday something unexpected happens.
Cool.
This is Jay.
