Heading over in a couple of minutes to see D8's end of camp pony riding show. I'll have to borrow a camera from work. I can't find mine. I'm assuming STBXW will be there.
I had to pull money from my IRA and it showed up in my account today, so now I can pay the deposit on the rental house, pay my half of the IRS bill and catch up from summer.
It means I'm going to have a chunk to pay on taxes next year, but I'm going to set aside some of the D settlement for that.
It hurts to yank the money out, but I have 26 years before I hit 67 -- which is kind of my targeted retirement age -- and I'd rather be able to live today while my kids are young.
Looking at my diary from a year ago. I did not write anything on Aug. 6. On Aug. 5, it appears as if I was starting to get a clue.
"Weird thing is the more we're apart the more I wonder how in the world we'd ever get back together."
On Aug. 7, I wrote this.
"D11 and D8 won't be kids forever. Eventually they will move out and move on and then there will be ... what, a career? You can't hold a career's hand or take it on vacation. I will keep going, joining groups, talking to people, trying to find someone to share my life with. If she's not on the other side of this park then she's out there somewhere."
