Yesterday W and I had our last mediation session for splitting up assets. The only big undecided issue was alimony and she was always a bit noncommittal and coy whenever we’d discuss these things, so I was afraid that was going to be a stalemate. But we had a quick back and forth in the 15 minutes before the session and agreed on one year of what’s IMO not very much, which I am more than satisfied with. So the financial part is essentially done, which is nice—this clears up a bunch of unknowns and now I can start better planning for the future. I know sometimes these things drag out, and I think the overall outcome was pretty fair.
Today I went and volunteered at the local food bank. This is not something I have done in my adult life, but I figured I need to start having a positive impact on the world. This also helped further my goal mentioned above of just putting myself out there around people I don’t know. It went fine, I got along with and talked to the people there, and I’ll go do it again some time.
Not much planned for the weekend. We need to start working on the house more. I’m with the kids tonight and going out tomorrow night, plans unknown at this time.
