I've been so busy, just keeping my head up now. The weekend was both long and busy. I did drive down to be with my friends. I subbed out my Saturday gig here in my hometown so that I could go out of town. I drove down Friday, got there in time for the jazz festival to see several dear friends perform, and we then hung out all night together. Sure enough, shortly before midnight, the person I subbed the Saturday night gig to called to say he couldn't do it after all (I WON'T be calling him again!). I pulled myself out of bed early Saturday, played a short set at the jazz festival, and then drove the six hours back to my home tome just in time for the other gig.
I was dreading being by myself on a holiday weekend that should have been with the entire family, but I ended up picking up gigs for both Sunday and Monday, so I was basically very busy. Overall, I think some of my GAL is going well: I made a lot of new friends. The musicians that know what I'm going through all commented on how good I look, and expressed their concern for me, including people I didn't know knew anything about me. It's good to realize how many people out there care about me.
My wife has now almost completely stopped responding to communication. We had devolved to just emails, but now she seldom responds to those either. I'm only emailing her about bills and the kids schedules.
Today, to my surprise, the closing attorney for my refi mangaged to contact her and she drove over there and signed the title over to me. We don't have a divorce agreement yet, and I didn't think she would sign. I have no idea if she plans on signing the divorce agreement either, or if she plans on ever calling her attorney. I think all three of us (me, my attorney, and her attorney) are scratching our heads.
There are other problems: this is my week with the kids. She has planned a trip out of town to meet with OM. She had taken a job babysitting for a friend, so she committed D17 to do the babysitting for her while she's gone. D17 is not happy about it, as she wasn't asked if she wanted to do it. I'm not happy either since it means significantly less time with D17 this week. She's basically babysitting during times I had already made plans for her. Hopefully this will be easier to deal with once we have an agreement in place.
