Wow. I have really been neglecting my blog!! So much has happened that was distracting, and then when it was all settled I really just needed a week to decompress.
The divorce is final and I get to keep my property! I'm pissed that my ex put me through that- all he had to do was talk to me about what he really wanted/needed and we could have come to this same conclusion without all of the bullshit costs and shit storm of stress. I do feel like I have a greater appreciation of my home now- and my life. Almost losing it put what I am grateful for into sharp focus- so I guess I could thank him for that.
Ian built me a brand spanking new computer from the ground up!! I am so amazed at his computer skills! I LOVE IT!!!! I can now play video games!!! I can now blog with the greatest of ease- so lots more fun stuff to follow.
I have so many options now. I can move into the back house and turn the front house back into a full salon with employees, I can continue to live in one and rent the other one out. I am leaning towards the idea of turning the shed into a mini salon , renting one of the houses out and living in the other. Ian thinks we should turn the shed into a room for rent, and rent it out for ACL, SXSW, Formula One, etc.. ( The shed is not really a shed, it is a one room structure that we have always used as a storage shed- but with a little TLC it could be a functioning space.) So many options, I just want to sit on it all for a bit and just enjoy the fact that I can now do whatever I want to the place!
