Apr. 6th, 2015 10:54 amToday is a difficult day, so I am giving myself a breather by procrastinating for a few minutes here on LJ. I really want to update more regularly, but I've been insanely busy the last few months.
Since real estate started to get off the ground for me, I've been working 7 days a week, and still trying to squeeze a social life in there, too. What makes today hard is that it's a divorce day. We have mediation (probably our last session?) and I have a lot of homework that I need to complete so that we have accurate assessments of our assets and whatnot. It's hard, it's painful, it's scary, and it's the least fun homework ever, so I'm not making good progress on it. The big thing is that I am supposed to have our taxes done. I do not. I am close, I think, but there's some stuff I don't know how to fill out, so we'll see. I've never done the taxes before. I hired an accountant in previous years, or McKenzie has done it all. But I agreed to do them this year. That was ambitious of me.
The work of getting divorced is so unfun. It's like when my clients cancel a contract and I have to do all this work to close out a transaction on which I will not get paid. Kinda the same. It's already a huge fucking bummer and now I have to do work to finalize said bummer.
So divorce sucks and is sad, but I've also got a lot of awesome in my life. My friends are amazing. I've been making some new friends. They're amazing, too. I signed up for a 10K in a month, because dammit, I'm going to get back in shape. I have a few trips coming up. Falcon Ridge is just a few months away. I love my family. I'm succeeding at work. I am going to be okay.
