To all...thanks for your wishes. I feel......the same.

Bittersweet today. My family gave me a quiet celebration at my sis' house yesterday. Today....I was alone. I cleaned my house. Reality. Did my office hours and then two of my colleagues took me out for Japanese food.No fanfare at all. It came and went.

The bitter: court was adjourned for two more weeks. The financial appraisal wasn't ready. You all may recall that my STBXW threatened me with a motion to come home early from my vacay with the kids. I drove home in a blinding snowstorm to comply. Today...I found out that it is 'illegal' so to speak to keep the children from a parent on their BD.

It is I who could have/should have filed a motion against XXX to have had them with me today on my 50th. I didn't know this and I am angry with myself for not being aware. My atty was FURIOUS when she learned it was my BD and the kids were away.

Water under the bridge.

It is times like these that I would like to throw the DB book out the window. When do you unzip and let out your cajones?

My W's vacation cost at least 2.5-3K and she is sportin' a new Apple laptop.

This needs to be done.

Believe it or not...it was a good day in spite of all this.

Half a century!
