I think I did pretty well. I arrived to the L office a few minutes early and chit chatted with the L. His last name is very similar to mine, so I told him that his name was spelled incorrectly and that he needed to hire a L to have it legally changed.
STBXW was late and in fact I saw her from the 2nd story window of the lawyers office as she was walking past. I opened the window and directed her to the proper entrance to office. Anyway, when I saw her there was no emotion from me (DETACHED!!!) she had gained some weight her hair was up and in a mess (she works nights now) so that could be the reason. Anyway, she took notice of my changes and told me that I looked great! And all I said was thanks...I probably should have returned the compliment, but it didn't dawn on me to, which is not natural for me.
As the L was filling out the paper work I tried to pepper in a few Cary Grantisms;example, L asked so you were M in Vegas? I replied yes and I lost the gamble. This made everyone smile and take the tension down a few notches.
As if on cue one of the ladies that I have been dating texted me arranging to meet me tonight (I honestly did not set this up). STBXW took notice and began leaning towards me to see what I was texting and to whom. I did not know if this was a good idea or not then I thought what would robx do. So as the L was working on the paperwork with stbxw I texted the lady back and we texted back and forth numerous times. I had this Cheshire cat smile on my face, which I could see was annoying stbxw. But I could not stop I was thinking how ironic this whole situation was.
Anyway, I we had already divided up our assest and liabilities so our D is simple so I will not see stbxw until March at the D proceedings. However, I will still keep DB'ing because as they say it is not over until it is over. STBXW saw a different H than she saw in July. I am happier and a lot thinner and I looked and felt confident, poised and carried off strength...I survived or I'm surviving. I saw a different W than I saw in July a little disheveled probably because she was getting ready for work, but not as confident in her actions. Anyway, I have a date tonight and my dance card is full every night this week...I am not sure if I can afford this dating stuff for too long...but it is fun!!!
