Hadn't seen lawyer since August. He said I looked awful. Hey, I'm burnt out! On all fronts.
Mediator had said on Monday, well, if you're not ready to wrap this up, the two of you still have to go to court tomorrow and ask for a continuance. Lawyer said, nonsense. Mediator should know better. Call Court, ask for case flow manager, then ask for continuance. So I did. No schlep to court necessary.New Date is january 27th. Just as well. Didn't want to get D'd the day before Christmas Eve, anyway.
Came home tonight to find a basket of homemade Christmas cookies on the counter. Note attached: "G, Merry Christmas. I wish you peace. Mrs. G."
Thanks.
We always celebrated here at home on Christmas Eve. Everybody went their own way to other family obligations and celebrations on Christmas Day.
Tomorrow night instead of nine of us over here, there will be me and S.
S's WAW and Grandson will be at her folks'.
StepS, StepD, StepD's partner and 9 week old Granddaughter will be at STBXW's new apartment one town over.
StepD and StepS still inexplicably not talking to me or responding. Now ignoring S, too.
She destroyed everything.
The cookies are in the garbage.
