It's over.

Edit 2: Thank you so very much for the support. I'm doing okay, but I've got a lot ahead of me. I'm a little scared, but already have the wheels in motion to start over. I've been away from Chicago for far too long. Whether I end up there or in KCMO with my son, I'll have the city within driving distance. The shock is still keeping me sane, along with the love and support of friends and family and my DU friends. I honestly can't tell you how much it means to me.

Threw the future ex out. Have to move back to the Midwest within the next few weeks. I'm completely broke and will need to use credit cards for the move with no promised employment once I get there. A friend suggested that I do this GoFundMe thing. I hate begging, but I really am desperate.

I have to start packing, now. Yuck.

Edit: I should probably add that I'm okay. Just a little scared. I'm turning 50 in 1.5 weeks and starting over is...overwhelming.

...I woke up with a clear head and a mental list of what needs to get done. Packing, mostly. Have to tell my boss I'm leaving, today. It's going to really suck. I'm exhausted, excited, terrified and a little numb. I'm so tired.

My son wants to fly out and then drive back with me. That's actually a damned good idea. My eyes are really bad. Driving crosscountry, alone, would be tough. So, add to my list...cheap flights from KCMO to PHX.

Did I mention how tired I am. Yeah.

It could have been worse. I could have been lonely. The outpouring of support has helped so much.

it goes to that strange airport on the east side of town (almost to New Mexico is how it feels LOL) but they have pretty cheap flights

damn, let me check on something later. there might be a half ticket someplace left over from last year. no promises but I will check on it later.
