Wow, I feel GOOD about myself!
For the first time in a year I think Im actually happy.
I received closure today, in the from of a call from my lawyer, with a cheque on the way since the charges got dropped. The money is going straight to the Tax Dept (my hubbies parents screwed us over on our WEDDING GIFT, by instead of paying for the wedding, they gave us the cash so we could pay for a 'decent' wedding, then wrote it out as a deduction, so we owe taxes) but thats the last big debt that we have to clear.
There is 5k in our savings account (for some reason thats my 'safety number' if we dont have that much in savings I get stressed about going to jail (cos thats how much the bail was, and if we HADNT have had it in savings I would have stayed in there till we figured out some money) and worry about emergencies) and we still owe a little on the credit cards, but its mainly for the Chinese New Year flights, which the family will pay back to us.
We have a cheque on the way from the lpg conversion on the car, but have already paid off the amount on our card, so it can go straight to savings.
Ive decided to take the first 6 months off from study, and work full time. Im unsure about finishing my degrees (cos Im currently studying in two completely different directions). I actually feel free, study is stressful, but a shit-kicker job for 6 months means that I can work 9-5 (or even 8-7) and then come home and forget about it. Im actually MORE focused on the end of this semester, knowing that Ive got a break coming up.
So to sum up :-)
* Legal drama finally over
* In the red, for the first time since that happened, with a little bit of savings
* Planning for the future, job and careerwise
If I get the all clear (and I should) from the oncologist at xmas my life will be good again.
