Here again part 11

[leahsue]

I'm not responding with advice, because you are getting the very best of the best on here already. But I do want to throw in my thanks to the ones who are advising you on practical matters about asking for what you rightly deserve.

Although I'm in Washington, and truly enjoying my time here with D, and staying busy, in the back of my mind there is always lurking the settlement proposal that is still a work in progress. I wake up after maybe 4 hours sleep, then I just have to GET up and start making notes of the things swirling in my head.

This settlement proposal may very well be the most important document I will ever have drafted and sent, and I must get it right the first time, or I will have regrets for the rest of my life. I've worked and given (both in time, physical effort, and finances that should have been part of my inheritance) too much to have helped him rise to the top and make a quarter of a million a year, to have to be awake in the night trying to figure out if I can live off my social security and paltry teacher retirement just to make ends meet.

Not today, *itch, not today.
