is a day, that should be joyous, and it is, to a point, it also should be monumentus (sort of a combined word, but a good one as it happens) as well.
14 years ago, no, i correct myself, almost 16 years ago i was wed to the mother of my youngest son. who, by the by has chosen not to communicate with me (cynically i would wager, until he wants something), and just over 11 years ago we were torn asunder by factors that shall remain sealed. at any rate, we are, were, splitsville to use a bit of movie/tv jargon.
divorced according to the powers that be in the country of of wedding, but not accepted, as it turns out, by the country of her birth, and current (i think) residence.
so, i was put upon to ‘figure it all out’ as it were.
in typical me fashion, i did. applied for a divorce in the country/city where i currently have an abode, although i haven’t been there for ages, and went through the pains of applying online, having things rejected, applying again, etc., etc.
they, the gov’t, courts, what have you, want you to do things online, yet, they make it nigh on impossible to do so. and of course, you have to pay every time you file, or re-file. bullshit i say, but that is a rant for another time perhaps.
at any rate, 31 days ago today, the ‘order’ came through to my email. stipulating that neither party, blah, blah, blah, can’t wed for 31 days.
31 days is today.
what does this mean you ask? well, not a lot, at least it doesn’t to me. my life with her was gone eons ago, so there isn’t any real heartbreak involved here.
however, it does now mean that she can get her shit together, and finally pay me back the large sum of money she owes me. whether that will happen, remains to be seen, but karma is a funny thing, so, here’s hoping.
anyhow, thought i would jot the note down, and pass it along.
hope you are all well,
i bid you, as always,
peace.
