Well, lookie what showed up in the post today… yep, my officially official divorce paperwork.
As said last post, i found on the web that the case was closed and even downloaded the scanned file. Still, there was this tickle that things weren’t quite done yet.
I had true relief when the papers finally showed up… and a loud “Whoop!!” of joy.
Yeah, there’s still some loose ends to tie up–selling the house being a biggie. But they’re just loose ends. Not the frayed fragments of string strewn across the corners of my life.
The relief hasn’t been like a light switch turned on. Rather, it’s been a slow de-sludging of goo from my life. It will take time to totally clean myself off. But today was a big step forward.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words and support. I could’ve done it without you…but it would have been much harder and lonelier. A heartfelt thanks!

Yee-HAAA!!!!

And I think it’s safe to exhale now.

It does take time to remove all the goo but just remember to take deep cleansing breaths when the loose ends start giving you a headache. They will only be temporary.
Go out this weekend and celebrate. Try not to sit at home and be too lonely.
I think if most of us were anywhere near you we would give you big smiles and hugs. so here are mine “Hug” “Big Smile”

So, I did a little online snooping. Hope you don’t mind. Your judge was the same one that handled my parents’ divorce in 1996. Small world.
