The Worst Is Over
I think.
About 2 weeks ago, went on a trip to TN to mail back my things, see family and friends, get the divorce papers signed, say goodbye to my cats, and (I thought) to Mike Cook. I came down dreadfully ill the day before and stayed sick as a dog for the entire trip.
But now I'm DONE. Tomorrow I take the divorce papers to the courthouse. Sure, ( Read more... ) -
