Just when I think everything is finally going right, something ELSE comes up. What do I have to do to catch a break? Sacrifice an animal? Cut out one of my internal organs? Go on a Spirit Quest?

It’s another. Sheesh. After months of delays, setbacks, stress, and other unexpected events, even my efforts to refinance my house hasn’t escaped Lady (Bad) Luck…

So, we had the divorce hearing this morning. I was nervous as hell. Was the Magistrate going to laugh at my petition? Was he going to say “This all looks well and good but you have to pay $X alimony as well”? Was he going to tell us that he wasn’t going to accept the Mediated agreement? So many questions…

We filed the divorce papers today. There’s really only one thing left that I need to do now and that is to get the financial aspect handled. It’s gonna make things pretty tight for me for a while but I have to do what I agreed to.

A couple of weeks ago, my Soon-To-Be Ex and I had an appointment with a Mediator to iron out how we would deal with separating out our finances; credit card debt, alimony, the house, etc. We pretty much have had no issues in figuring out little stuff like who gets the toaster or the Disney Collectibles or any of the other possessions. It was the BIG stuff that needed to be sorted out.

So, for the last few days I’ve been packing up my things to move back in with my parents. I’ve never been much of a “hoarder” but I am simply stunned by how much stuff I have accumulated. It’s really quite amazing.

Well, to say things are awkward is an understatement. My home is not large enough for us to coexist without having to be around each other. I try to find reasons to not be home. Since I’m not in a band any more, that really only leaves work and who wants to stay at work longer than they have to? I should reconnect with some of my friends and get back to some of the other hobbies I once had. It’s time to be “alive” again.

After several months of struggling with my feelings, I finally asked my wife for a divorce last night. It was the absolute most difficult thing I’ve ever done. But the fact is, while I care for her very much, I am not “in love” with her anymore. It is not fair to either of us to stay in this relationship; she deserves the chance to find the right person for her (as do I). As long as she’s married to me, that can never happen.
