Updates on house sitch:

I have an app't with a top lawyer tomorrow. She is the woman who successfully brought VTs civil union law into being! how she is taking the time to meet with little old me, I can't imagine.

I also don't imagine I can afford her.

She did say very matter of factly that if it goes to court, the judge will just have us sell to a 3rd party, which is alright with me.

I then spoke with another lawyer, and mentioned my fear that X would move into the apt. as soon as it is available. She said that it is possible to get a "temporary ownership" or something like that, such that I would have control over renting the apartments.

It is just so sad to be in a place where I am going to lawyers and talking trash about my X--talking about OW, and affairs, and moving into apts. out of vengeance! When did my perfectly quiet, respectable, decent, moral life become a trailer trash soap opera? This is so not us. So not me.

Well, clarity about my options will help a lot.

A friend is helping me tonight with sorting out the Quicken joint account/taxes thing, so X won't think I am a total idiot in dealing with the house/apts.

On on.
