and i'm waiting for the other 3. waiting. golly, that gets annoying!
so in the meantime, i just ate a bowl of cereal, and hobbes reminded me, insistently, how very, very much he likes cereal milk. also that he is super cute, and did i mention that he really, really likes cereal milk... so after i was done, i know a lucky kitty who got to drink all the cereal milk he wanted.
i suppose i should blog about how the hearing went. the courthouse was old and more church-like than i had expected. i arrived ridiculously early, and sat alone in the courtroom for a good 20 minutes before anyone else came in. an older woman sat near me and we talked - just small talk, but keeping each other from going crazy in those last minutes of waiting. we joked about the lawyers, talked about how far we both lived from the courthouse, stuff like that. and then the judge came in. someone forgot to say "all rise" so it took a minute for people to stand up. but i think he forgave us, since he started right away calling people up to hand their final paperwork to his assistant. as he got the papers, he'd skim through them and either sign off, or embarrass the petitioner by pointing out what they didn't have and that they'd have to come back next week. i was the seventh or so, and even though i'd checked everything about seventy times, i was still nervous. but he signed mine, and then said i could go downstairs if i needed a copy. done. and now i'm single again. i walked outside into the sunshine and didn't know how to feel. how many years i spent in a different life than i have now... i walked to my car and started the long drive home.
by the time i got back i was excited enough to swing by work and squeal with the girls a little bit. then i came home, and fell asleep while i was trying to decide where to go party. so i had a super long really deep nap, and oh boy did it feel good!
so good in fact, that i'm tempted to go have another one. right now.
