prophet_marcusYesterday after work, I went down to the county courthouse and filed the paperwork for my divorce. In a couple of weeks, they will send out the court summonses and we'll have a court date. Meanwhile, Trish and I have to fill out the settlement agreement. Within a few months, most likely, it will all be over. As I told my therapist, I don't know how I'll feel on Der Tag, but right now it just seems like it will be a relief to have it all over. I'll be able to get on with my own life. Maybe even start dating, in the unlikely event I can find anyone available who I find interesting and is interested in me.
I think that's the scariest part of it all. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life, but I was never very good at the whole dating thing when I was young, and I doubt it will be any easier now that I'm middle aged. It isn't like I'm looking for another wife, but I find it hard even making new friends these days.
Enough! I'm on vacation and have a week and a half to waste. Hopefully, I can find a good bike at a yard sale or something so that I'll at least get out of the house.
