So this morning I got up, took Peace to school, stopped by the bank and then went down to the County Service Center and filed for my divorce. I was a tad nervous as I wandered the empty halls, looking for the right room (234A, if you are taking notes).

I live south of the Chattahoochee River (the HOOTCH!), and work ( Read more... )

It's kind of a let down - I was looking forward to being productive.
