I am feeling pretty relaxed, with a combination of resignation, compassion, and a bit of sadness. It also feels good to be taking action.
Yesterday I worked from an out of home office for the first time. It really felt good to be free and away and back in the office social environment. I got up before everyone else was awake, went to the gym, and then straight to work. Had some meetings here in town after work, so was basically gone out of the house all day.
This morning Mrs. T and I had a 30 minute introductory call I scheduled with a mediator. I've had these calls before, but I think it was the first for her. Next step is to follow up with Mrs. T: "I am ready to proceed."
It is also annual enrollment time for benefits. Since the benefits decisions I make now are effective for all of 2010, I am looking at these trying to determine how I would want to be enrolled. For example, if we are going to get divorced next year, maybe I should stop my 401K investments, since I would need cash more than I need long term investments. I would be happy for any advice people can give me here.
In parallel with this (and at Mrs. T's request: "But I DO want to work on the M!") we called a new MC. He comes recommended and we are going to try to get some time with him tomorrow.
