Now for a quick update. I have officially moved out. After an emotionally and physically exhausting day, I slept in my new house last night and it was the sleep on contentment. I am so thankful to G-d for this house. It suits my needs perfectly. The kids have seen it and really like it. I had four friends come over to help me unpack. Another friend donated some furniture. I never thought I would get to this point. I am just so overwhelmingly thankful. I have to get through this weekend - my first alone with the children. I have so much to prepare. Another note of gratitude to G-d: my afternoon schedule today is super light, so I have more time to prepare.
I have also signed a Jewish writ of D. I Would never have chosen D, but it looks like my W, and G-d have chosen it for me. I am very relieved - at least for today. It feels like a huge burden has been lifted. There is a long way to go in civil D, and My W is receiving (and accepting) counsel that is only prolonging the process and making it more contentious, to everyone's detriment. I will continue to take it day-by-day and work on being thankful for everything that is going right - and there is a lot.
