    All of this and nothing

     For some time, I’ve been telling myself, and anyone who would listen, that I just want to move forward.  I guess I actually meant it.

    The Sleepless Knight

    As of now, all is quiet on the western front – as far as legal proceedings are concerned.  I would be shocked if the STBX didn’t get served this week.  I just want it done.  I’m not anxious or scared about it; I just want to move forward. Last week,…

    Going to DEFCON 2….

    For some stupid reason, I never bothered to check my e-mail on Wednesday (probably because I was too busy getting homework done).  15 minutes ago, I opened an e-mail from my attorney – sent at about 3:15 Wednesday afternoon.  My attorney got the Divorce Papers back from the county.  The…

    another happy hour…or four…

    The social club  had another happy hour tonight – they seem to do one per month. this was was in a different town, so I didn’t expect the same crowd, per Sis’s words. The bar we went to had a live band called, i kid you not, Free Beer. They were…

    I did it. I sent out THE PAPERS on Friday afternoon following a brief conversation the STBX and I had while I was at bowling on Thursday.  She asked me where the separation agreement was and then tried to lecture me on legal proceedings.  I even told her that my…
