Well, Happy Crappy.

Judge decided that 'the math was appropriate' and lowered my alimony ( which I am now 4 months owed) I feel my L dropped the ball in a certain respect, but then . . . I'm still dipping into his pocket every month in a state that rarely awards alimony at all. I still get half of his retirement, draw off his Social Security, and have medical insurance for my lifetime. All in all, I really don't have anything to whine about.

I am more than ready to just get this all behind me. It will make my own life a lot simpler, and that is something I crave.

Mowed my yard today, ahead of storms that are supposed to hit our area tonight and tomorrow. Had my D25 with me for 2.5 days last week, as she was diagnosed with influenza and had to come home to Mom. Still making litte improvements to my house in dibs and dabs. Life is never easy, but is improving. I still have weak moments of self-blame/self-pity, but WTH.My glass is definitely half full.
