Ramblings on a Saturday evening

Read Salvation City by Sigrid Nunez today.  Good stuff.

Worked on divorce paperwork today.  Complicated stuff.

Been thinking about how, in some ways, I feel like the essence of who I am is exactly the same as it was 20 years ago.  I think I'm mostly okay with that and also aware of some things to continue tweaking.

Halloween party at Fiona's school last night.  Lots of people.  Got there late because I forgot her costume at home -- sorry to miss getting to talk to more people.  Good to have some more time in public with Jeremy (my husband from whom I'm separated) -- I feel like each time we do that, the easier it becomes.  We've spent the last 10 years together and so in some ways it still feels very easy and normal to talk to each other, while in others it feels forced and excruciating.  I'm concentrating on the goodness and thankful for the effort we are both putting in.

I need to contact my lawyer and see what he is thinking about the accident settlement.  Perhaps I'll know more after I see the doctor on Wednesday afternoon.

Hopefully Jeremy and I will be meeting with a mediator on Friday afternoon,  I believe we will try to complete the two initial forms for beginning the divorce process, after which, if I'm understanding it correctly, 90 days need to pass before turning in the rest of the paperwork (which is a ton).

So tired.  Will try to sleep soon.
