thanks, tal.

I have been reading your thread but no time to post.

My will is all set up--changing my beneficiaries was one of the first things I did.

I already sent the heart note--I don't expect anything.

I have an email from X waiting in his email folder--I think I will make friends read it tonight.

I am waay to anxious to read his response which has to deal with wrapping things up:

1) that I would move all his stuff to the garage--I'm sure he won't like that!

2) suggested a 65/34% split of the joint account, as that is the percentage of what we both have put in since he walked--he suggested 50/50

3)suggesting Sunday as the day to meet, review all his stuff in the garage, and decide on the joint stuff, which I will also move to the garage.

I am sick to my stomach, exhausted, and wired all at the same time.

OK OK--just these three steps:

move the stuff
talk about the stuff
have the closing

I've survived this far, right?

Wish me luck on the 1/2 marathon tomorrow, everyone! and send your strength to me as I pack things, move things, and meet with X.

I am reading your threads and thinking about all of you, too--
