October 23, 2002: [•] The saga of separation continues: Started working on my Order of Separation from my wife. It will take about two weeks to process and then for all intents I will independent of my wife yet still married (Confused? I’m with you. Just smile and nod.). After a year either of us can file for an uncontested divorce from the filing date of the original Separation Order. This is more of courtesy to Mel then a must do thing because she needs health insurance until she can find her own. I don’t simply want to boot her out and leave her dry. That isn’t fair to her. Besides she relied on me for three years and now she needs time to get her life in order. Hopefully she can get everything together in a year. Once again, I don’t want this to be one of those divorces where we come out hating each other. Indeed, that would suck. [•] BrokenReality has gotten 10,000 hits to his site. Congratulations! [•] Skyler’s going through a lot of crap right now so if you see her give her a hug– she needs one. [•] Immy has cooked up a new Stack Ups! based video game called STACKANOIDS! Download it RIGHT HEEEAA~! [•] I went to the Goshen diner last night with V and Broken. I got back home then balanced my checkbook. The good news is I’m going to make it bill wise, but just by the skin of my teeth. UGH! Why does it seem I never have enough money even though I make more than most people in my situation? It’s just mind boggling sometimes. I have no extra cash, period. At least Gette is well cared for. That is my biggest concern. Had a busy day in general though yesterday: Attorney, oil change on the Focus, clean the flAnnelcAve, food shopping, and starting to tie up a lot of loose ends in life. Today is going to be information digging day: Got to get information on my life insurance, salary, and finalize the numbers that will determine my child support. Fun, fun, fun! I can’t wait for all the paperwork, debt, and law service costs to be finalized then paid off. I really want this all done by November because I need to start Christmas shopping. I want this to be a good Christmas for Gette and hopefully I will be able to make it good. God knows I need a miracle right now, but I have high hopes that I’ll get through this okay. At least I can smile and say that single life is going better than expected. Aight, peace out homies!
