Dreams of a New Normal...

thanks givingitmyall.

I've become a tad reliant on the folks here...IRL things are so precarious and others' hearts are invested IYKWIM.

I'm here. Don't stress about the L appt. today.

[aliveandkicking]

Well, this L requires a $7500 retainer. It was pretty grim too. I feel kind of sick.

On the up side, I may be able to get a lot of money for something I trying to sell. And I mean a lot.

The whole thing with the L just had me in tears. Maybe just not the right L...I don't know.

Feel so wiped out but I'm gonna keep going.

Having just fired a lawyer and hired a new one, I can assure you that you know if the L isn't right. And btw $7500 retainer is ridiculous - way out of spex for the area.

[orangedog]

That's a lot of money. And if he/she doesn't have the right vibe then keep lookin'. It's Friday so go have a Margarita.

[aliveandkicking]

Well, really there is no rush. I am certain I will get less money than I am getting now so I may as well figure out where I am going to go and take the time to find a new lawyer.

Margarita...nope, kid night. But enjoy one for me.

Are these first meetings free? No reason not to keep talking to attorneys if they are free.

Yes, so far they are free.

Man, I am a nervous nilly now. The L told me to document all of our assets, H has thousands of items that would take me forever to go through and there is no way I could do it discreetly. I guess I just do the best I can.

I've got to see another L that can put a more positive twist on this...my relative L was better.

[aliveandkicking]

I was just looking through bank statements and H's income has gone down drastically since he left...

Mama needs a plan and it probably should not include alcohol.
