The Verdict

ding ding ding, "You will be single on August 7."

these were the last words the lawyer told me yesterday as i finished my three hour waiting session in a hallway at the courthouse. 8 months of paper/authority/lawyer/bureacracy torture and this was the moment that i have been working toward, waiting for, convinced would take a lot longer, maybe never come.

BAM! and there it was.

first, i called guy. i told him, i'll be divorced on august 7. he has waited a long time for those words too. he has been very patient with my not wanting to deal. these were words dressed up in frosting for him as well.

second, i called the Ex. "we'll be divorced on august 7th!!" i told him excitedly. he responded in like and i hung up wondering how often in history that kind of divorce exchange has happened.

i am a new girl. i feel light and free like diet lemonade.

now i just gotta get away from my work which is so filled with Roof-Building Toxic Fumes, i got an instant headache upon arrival.

xo happy weekend.
