It's Friday- randoms

[Deleted]

TGIF! I have a cold and I'm feeling like crap. Also, it is colder outside than I thought so I didn't dress appropriately. I'd like to fast forward through work today, k? Thanks.

@blueyes623 hope you feel better soon.

I met with the new therapist yesterday and I think I like her. She gave me some stuff to think about and made me realize I take on/take responsibility for other peoples choices and feelings that I have no control over. I made another appt for the first week in November.

I have a drs appt tonight to get my ankle xrayed because it still hurts really bad and I am worried its more than a sprain. Other than brunch tomorrow I have no plans this weekend and that is amazing.

This morning I have to take Miss Casey into her regular vet for follow up X-rays and bloodwork and I'm dreading it. I love our vet, but their office so far away now that I moved and it's a huge production to get her in the carrier....ugh.

I've been in a funk the past few months. Can't explain it. I'm getting a new tattoo tonight.

Have a house showing today..... The house needs to sell so everyone can move forward. I really think this is the only hold-up at this point.

Hurricane Patricia is looking SCARY! And I am worried my incredibly self-involved acquaintance will make an ignorant comment about hoping this doesn't affect her vacation to Mexico in February. :?

I really should stop expecting the worst in people, right?

My sister found out she's going to have a boy -- which will be interesting because there are very few males in our family.

I have a work goal to meet today but also have two other things planned during the day and I need to run some errands. Ack!

I made an appointment for Monday afternoon with the lawyer to do my paperwork. I'm not sure he's the sharpest tool in the shed, but it's not a complicated divorce, I'm not fighting for anything, and he's cheap so...whatever.

I do not do family law. At all. I took the class in law school, but that's it. BUT, I did the paperwork for my friend's uncontested divorce because it's not that tough when people agree and there aren't any kids. You basically follow a form. *this is not legal advice.

I have a fun work lunch today, which I'm glad to have since it will get me out of work for a while.

For the first time in almost two weeks I slept well without waking up or having a nightmare. That helps, but I still feel so unsettled and turbulent in my emotions. I can't wait for Monday...I hope talking with the therapist will help me. Although I have an hunch where part of it is originating from and it kind of sucks knowing because there's nothing I can do about it. I hate feeling this swirled up mess of emotions.

Yeah, the forms aren't complicated at ALL. I actually already filled the forms out. I just need someone to deal with the filing and affirmation of service form and mail this certified and have this notarized and get a court date and question the witness nonsense.

Yeah, the cheaper lawyer will be fine for all this.

Why does my period have to come today. I'm feeling so crappy.

[Serenity9]

Last weekend I went on a date with a really cute guy! But I couldn't get any reading from him at all if he was interested in me or not. He seemed perfectly nice, but all of the conversation was very surface, getting-to-know-you stuff, and no real flirting. At least none on his part. I couldn't tell if he wasn't interested, or maybe he was shy. So I just texted him the next day, said it was nice to meet him and I had a good time, and he said the same. Then nothing. And then... last night, he texted to ask me out again! Yay! I'm guessing it was shyness.

My kids are going to their dad's this weekend. I have a fun, adult only night away planned to take my mind off of it.

TR, I used the least expensive lawyer I could find for my uncomplicated, uncontested divorce (no kids, no property) and it was just fine. No use in paying someone thousands upon thousands when it's a very basic thing. I think my lawyer charged $1500.

Serenity9 I am awkward and most people think I don't like them at first. I have to try SO hard to even seem pleasant until I get to know you.

TR I am sure the cheapo lawyer will be fine mine was $350 and they were great. They are a divorce mill type place though the lawyer had 6 other cases the same morning as mine when we went to court. She briefed us as a group lol.

Whew, I'm jealous! Mine is $650 and that seems to be the cheapest I can find, the others I called all quoted at least $1,000.

Mine was around $650, but it included all the court fees which accounted for about half the amount. It wasn't a lawyer though, it was a "paralegal service".

I dunno how much paperwork cost for my divorce because I let him do it. Lol.

Me too. He paid for all the filing fees and everything. Even though by the time of the actual divorce, I was totally on board, I would still say something like ...well, this is what YOU wanted so you should pay for it.

If you can't manipulate your XH, who CAN you?

[1confused1]

My daughter's team party is scheduled on a day xh is supposed to have them. I just had to email him to see if he is going to take her, he is notorious for not doing things like this. Makes me so sad for my kids.

I've been chatting with 2 guys on Tinder ... at 41 the idea of pounding vodka shots after your shift at Starbucks should maybe make you re-think a few things BUT the other guy I'm chatting with is much more down to earth and less 'let's relive Animal House !!' ... also 41
