Well, it’s July 23rd and a new chapter begins.  As of 8:45 am this morning I am newly single.  As my new profile picture on Facebook says, “Single? No, I am in a relationship with freedom.”  I believe that was the quickest legal proceeding I’ve ever been to.  Our appointment at court was at 8:30.  I guess that’s what happens when the divorce is uncontested.  Short and sweet, just like I like it.

Anyway, Saturday is the leave day.  I hope.  No, I need to get everything done so that I can leave then.  Still a lot of packing to do.  It’s the drive that’s going to be interesting.  Has anyone ever driven across the country with a small neurotic dog?  I have meds for him, thank God.  After the first day he should settle in and I won’t have to drug him-I hope.

Lots to do-later.
