Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

Not much to talk about this week. D13 has her play this weekend. So there's lots of schedule stuff with XW.

Still a strange lack of energy at work. I'm focusing on so much OTHER than work.

The big thing right now is the bankruptcy. I thought I might be able to avoid it. But it appears as if the accident settlement won't be near enough.

So I met with the bankruptcy attorney Wednesday. We're filing in two weeks. In mid-April, I'm likely to meet with the trustee. At that point, my attorney told me, I can start putting money in the girls college accounts, saving for a house, things I had to avoid while I waited on whether to do the bankruptcy.

Mentally, I'm good with it. I spent all of 2010 trying to chip away at the credit card debt from the marriage. I did the math, if I lived as cheaply as possible it would take seven to eight years to eliminate the debt.

My girls would be college age by then and I'd have put no more to their education.
