Over (or is it)

It is finally done. I am officially divorced and I am no longer a homeowner. I learned this week that my divorce had gone thru on Oct. 28th.

I closed on my house today. My XW received $57,000. I walked away with $2,000. It was an emotional moment when I locked the door for the last time. Funny thing, similar to my X, the house suddenly seemed cold and alien. My sister called later. She lives across the street. She told me that she saw the new owner lift his wife up and struggle with the front door to carry her in. She ran up and held the door for him so he could carry her across the threshold. One marriage over. Another starts exciting and new. They look like they'll make it.

Back to the closing: Sure as shootin', 10 minutes into the closing, XW's FATHER walks in, stands in the back of the room with his hands clasped behind his back and observes. 15 minutes later, he leaves. I never looked at him. What a load of ......

So, my friends, I am typing this from my netbook, alone, in my new apt crammed tight with boxes as I eat a frozen pizza washed down with a Sprite. A far cry from the family of four father sauteeing' chicken cutlets in the kitchen.

I don't know where my shoes are.

I don't know where my boxer briefs are.

I'm due back at work tomorrow.

Starting from scratch.........
