What a pretty afternoon! I left work at about 3:30, ran some errands, and came home. I had planned on putting on comfortable clothes and sitting on the porch to read, but I decided to pull a few weeds that were bugging me.
Two hours later, all three flowerbeds are weeded. They look so much better. I'm sure that I still have some touch-ups here and there, but I'm pleased with my progress. There's something really gratifying about yanking those weeds out of the ground.
Now I'm sitting outside in an Adirondack chair in the sun, wine at my right hand, book and a variety of catalogs at my left. Boxer dog is thrilled that the weather is finally pleasant, and he's even more thrilled to fetch the tennis ball.
The dark cloud looms, however. H texted today that he will call me over the weekend to let me know how his meeting yesterday with the lawyer went. I asked if he filed any paperwork, and he said, "Nope. We were just talking. Now I just have more info on the process." H is fully aware that I am not in favor of a divorce, so he likely has information on what it means for him in our state when a spouse contests a divorce. [Let's just say this--it's likely not as simple as he thought it would be.]
For now, I'm comfortable and ready to settle in for a relaxing night. I have some errands and to-do things for tomorrow, so I anticipate an early night tonight.
