Jeep is back in the garage. I'm so relieved to have my Jeep back. Whew.
I have the temporary child support papers here. They arrived this week. I will begin filling them out.
I may put in an application for legal aid because I know this process takes awhile and if I need to use legalaid, at least it will be in place.
I'm not negotiating with Smokey anymore. Yesterday was it. I can see where his head is at. There will be no agreement on terms. He is still one angry, confused, sad man who is holding onto his retirement with two fists. In some ways, I'm relieved. At least now I know I can't negotiate and someone else will have to handle this burden, someone able to handle this burden way better than I'm able. I'm allowing myself on sentence of analyzing...he still seems confused about what he wants and how to go about it. The man I was communicating with didn't seem like someone looking for a quick resolution. His responses indicated he was slowing the process. But, maybe it's wishful thinking. I did have a few moments of sadness yesterday when I heard a song that reminded me of Smokey. So sad.
Next big task, get summer in place financially. I need to figure out how to earn through the summer. I'd like to join the tech writing society beforehand so I will have access to some assignments on the society.
