That lady from the meetup that I met is a great lady, but alas, she already has a boyfriend, however, she and I have been communicating regularly, and I consider her a friend now, and that is a positive. It's nice to have some new friends in the area, who are going to be true friends.. It's ok, as I had no expectations, but we just seemed to hit it off as friends instantly. Hope I can find a women out there like that who's single someday!
It's annoying and frustrating at times how the human mind works. I slept very little last night. I had to get the taxes done, so went over everything with the accountant, and out of that the following:
There is a huge benefit to our tax return from those investment properties that stbxw claims she has nothing to do with. I am talking thousands of dollars, and I am going to report that to my L, even though I doubt it will make any difference in division, and certainly not to stbxw who just wants the $$$.
I am going to need to change my w4 or I am going to wind up owing taxes next year. That means less of my take home pay, and it's going to be hundreds of dollars per paycheck..
I need to get stbxw to sign the doc, and I am anxious about how to go about that without getting into discussion about the differences..
stbxw unilaterally made the decision that her other ex would claim the 2 boys for financial aid purposes last year, so we could not claim them on our taxes. That's doubly annoying as I am paying still for the house they live in most of the time, and don't even live there myself anymore..
So, while dealing with 'mindfulness' of the above while awake, my subconscious seems to be struggling a bit, as I slept very little, kept waking up, dreaming about stbxw, ad nasuem. Grrr..
Well, today is another day to work it out, and taking d9 to cookie creating event with that meetup group, and looking forward to chatting with my new friend and make some other new friends..
