Hi everyone, Happy Friday!
Hope all is well.

Just popping in to journal and I also have a "what would you do" question.

I was supposed to be in court this week to comply with one of ex's motions to compel. It was an assanine motion actually..my lawyer had never seen anyone do this before. His lawyer finally dropped it at the 11th hour the day before court. Ugh. Thank goodness.

With that, no further movement on the D. We are having a hard time agreeing on a forensic accountant so there's no movement in finalizing the valuation of everything. Once that is done, we can move forward with negotiations.

All in all, I continue to be doing well. I recently was promoted at my job and took on a new bucket of work which is awesome! I LOVE it. I now oversee some of my company's wellness programs. Which is cool because it's something I've learned to embody over the last couple years. My goal is to be a role model for living and leading a balanced mind-body-spirit in the workplace. I owe my new reputation to DBing!
My 60 day fitness challenge ends next Saturday so I'm in the home stretch. I need to find something to fill the 6 week gap before the next challenge (yep, I'm going back for round 2!). Was thinking of training for another triathlon in May and maybe be ready for another full marathon in June. Must keep busy!!!

Ex's bday is next week and next week also marks 2 years since ILYB. It's unbelievable how time changes everything.

So my question.... He's still holding my dog hostage and the only way I can get access is to file a motion demanding him to share. Things are so uneasy right now and I don't want to rock the boat, but I am dying to see my pup. I have a fear that a judge will think I haven't worked hard enough to see the dog if I don't file and therefore will give custody to ex. (In my state, dogs are treated like children, though there is no formal law about mandatory sharing). Do I rock the boat and intentionally make things uglier in this D?
