Signing the divorce papers was anti-climatic. I signed them in front of a notary, scanned and emailed them. No big deal.

I wanted an adult sit down with my W where we both signed the divorce papers, similar to the scene in 'Her'. We could just talk. We could talk about s14 and what's best for him. I could ask about the role of finances in her decision to leave me. No defensiveness. Just adults talking.

But I think we are both too raw right now. W attacked me in the mediations, and I did say a few things back at her, but nothing with the sting and anger her words had. So I think sitting down with W and having a nice, adult chat is a fantasy.

Got out in the morning and walked. It was nice. Got some vitamin D. Called my general doctor to get a re-fill on some Ambien. Sleep right now is precious. Otherwise waiting for word that the divorce order is signed by the judge.
