    Army Thread 2nd Noviembre dos mil diez (2/11/10)

    Almost 9pm here but still feels like its almost 10-I'm still not used to the time change thingy. Enjoyed reading Popeye's update. Kinda helped me to shake off the poor me feeling I was having earlier. I really have a lot to feel thankful for--like being sober!

      Hi guys
      I'm exhausted too, had meeting with my new boss today, he talked about tax laws, trust funds and offshore investments. Didn't understand a word of it but tried to look intelligent, I start work next Tuesday and before Christmas will be sent to Barcelona for training. This will be the 1st time in 18 years I have every stood on my own two feet without my ex husband. I'm shit scared but excited.

        Good for you Chill! I'm going through kind of the same thing. I have my first "real" job and now I'm moving into a new flat where I'll be 100% responsible for bills etc. I'm scared shitless too! But I know (and I am!) I can do this. But God, I'm exhausted! Welcome to the real adult world, Expat (she tells herself:H). It feels pretty good though.

              Oney I was just reading back to all you are doing for yourself - bloody good for you girl!
              You are amazing! You take the positive out of a negative situation and thats awesome.

              I actually watched the movie the kite runner with mr libra the other night, and dead poets society is one of my all time fav movies....

                Hi Epat, any day sober is a good day, we have a lot to be thankful for.
                Chilli, fair play to you for having a go. You will be amazed at what you can achieve. A life without challenges would be a dull one.

                  Thanks Oney! My ex was a control freak-so at least in the new flat I can pick out the colour paint and curtains (or whatever!) that I really like. It sounds so childish saying that as a grown woman but it's the first time I feel so free!!! And I've been working my ass off at my job. I liked your idea of fixing up a room just for you! I have a lovely big bay window in the new place--and I want to get some plants and stuff. I used to love plants-but didn't give a shit the last couple of years. Starting to notice pretty things and care more about my environment. HMMM... I can't believe I'm saying all this but I do feel like this is a blessed new start I've been given. Still pretty broke but I'm pretty good at finding bargains (I :h thrift shops!) and a few green plants won't break me.

                    Thanks Chilly,

                    At one time I would have sank into a feel sorry for me depression, smoked 20 cigs and ooured a vodka and wallowed...those days are LONG gone. I feel light hearted, happy and grateful!
