One more day in this week and then I have a weekend to get ready for class starting next week. After a multi-hour screaming match last night, I think Chapin and I ironed out a tentative settlement agreement. I’ve sent it to my lawyer for her review and she’ll prepare it for his signature. Right now he’s acquiescing because he thinks that if he gives me what I want, I’ll give him another chance. 
Not going to happen. Hopefully he will sign this and then the courts will move fast to give us a final hearing, maybe by the end of the summer? I’m keeping everything crossed that this will go smoothly and that we’ll be done soon. I’m not confident, just hopeful.
In the meantime, I am happy to have classes returning so that I can throw myself into something else and keep my mind off of all of this. Today I have to try to go to the doctor because my body is rebelling against the stress with an allergic-type reaction that I haven’t been able to tame with antihistamines or cortizone. Argh. I seriously think I’m a medical freak of nature. Every time I’m under serious stress, my body freaks out with hives or rashes or some kind of flu-type virus. I think I need a private island to escape to.
