It’s done. I arrived at the court (late, damn traffic!) at 8:20 a.m. and was out of there by 8:40 a.m. I didn’t cry or even feel sad, which I suppose is kind of weird. I wore the black top and skirt (#1 in the photo array) and felt very confident. The prove-up took all of five minutes and the judge approved our final agreement, the wage withholding order for child support and my name change. Chapin did not call me and I did not call him. I should get a copy of the signed/certified orders in a few days and then have to deal with SSA and drivers license changes.

This evening I went to a movie theater/grill with a good friend, ate a chicken quesadilla with iced tea (decided I really didn’t need a margarita on my poor stomach, which is still sensitive from surgery), and watched “Dark Knight.” It was a lot of fun.
