FB2, the financial stuff has been decided. I'm only getting around $11k. By my calculations, I should get around $18k, but she is taking a lower child support payment than likely would be ordered in Illinois.
In the end, I come out ahead -- well, not ahead, but less behind.
That $11k will get me out of enough debt that I'll be slightly better off than I am right now. It's going to be a long slog though to pay the rest off. Probably five years. But I can do it. I just have to work my *ss off and be smart with my money. Now that STBXW will be out of the picture financially, that shouldn't be a problem.
Wow, yesterday was busy from beginning to end. I barely had time to go home with the girls for 90 minutes and I only made it to 1 hour of the 2 hour divorce support group on Tuesday nights.
Lots of people skipped last night. Not sure why.
Today, busy again. Lots of stuff popping up at work. I did get up super early to make a $20 plasma donation and I texted Church_31. I'm basically texting her once a week to keep the lines of communication going until the Thursday church group starts up again in October.
Had to go to courthouse to pick up stuff on a foreclosure case I'm writing about. As I was waiting for the file, it hit me that there is a case file on those shelves with my name on it.
That made me sad. But I'm consciously trying to focus on today since I can't change yesterday.
Back to plasma donation. They won't let you donate if your heart beat is under 50. I pride myself on being in shape and have had a heart rate as low as 38 before. I had to have my heart rate taken twice and jiggle my legs a little to get it above 50.
Weird how being in shape can hurt me.
