Time for a quick update before I head off to bed. My ex moved out almost two weeks ago, on Mother's Day. It was shitty timing because it was a Sunday, Mother's Day, and I had to get up at the ass crack of dawn to run a 5k I signed up for before I knew what day he was leaving. I ran totally alone this time and probably because of that improved my time by 2:30 so I finished in 27:59.

My ex and his cat got moved out and when he came back for his last load and the cat I started crying. He asked why *I* was crying. I told him because this is horrible. He agreed and said he didn't know what else to say, took his cat and left.

In the last 2 weeks I've deep cleaned my house so that now according to Zarphin it stinks like cleaner, which is fine with me right now. I bought a guest bed so my dad has a place to sleep when he's here visiting next month, a new couch, and new silverware. Right now my walls are totally bare and I hate it.

My ex didn't think I would be able to feed myself with out him since he did most of the cooking. I'm incredibly proud of myself! Last weekend I cooked for the entire week for myself so I could just microwave things after work/workout and not have to spend a bunch of time cooking every day. I made white chocolate mousse and banana bread, both from scratch and delicious. I made pasta veggie casserole to bring to work for lunch, and broccoli tomato salad that I've been eating with pitas and hummus.

My cats are adjusting to there only being two of them and one human and also me moving furniture around the house. I'm doing much better emotionally than I expected which I attribute to having great friends, some of them from SG, and my parents actually remembering to call and check up on me.

Time for sleep.
