I'm catching up on a week's worth of news.

Could somebody slap the conspiracy nuts upside the head? You'd have to have a 350+ megaton nuclear bomb to cause a 9.0 level earthquake. Plus to simulate the aftershocks, you'd have to use many many more smaller ones...

Not that I wouldn't put it past Bush & co to test a nuclear bomb, but in this case the size and logistics and pointlessness goes far beyond the mundane stupidity and evil of the current administration and maybe more than the comic book fantasy realm.

{{{Cass}}} Vent as much as you need to, here and elsewhere. Just doing it is the point -- getting it out.

Okay, today I have:

• closed the joint bank account (really thought I did that a while back but guess that was another thing I let slip.)
• gotten copies of my last statements on all of my accounts
• actually found my life insurance paperwork
• conspired with DxH to hide our stock assets because it is a small account and neither of us can find the paperwork
• gathered the rest of my paperwork for tomorrow's atty sit-down
• rejoined my gym
• bought a battery for my camera
• took a vitamin
• not cried even once so far

What I still have to do:

• wait for DxH to show up here in a half hour or so five minutes to drop off his paperwork so that tomorrow can hopefully finish up everything in the divorce
• and a car insurance card for me cause I don't seem to have one in the car
• go through his stuff in the garage and make sure there is nothing else in the house that he wants
• work out when he's going to get said things to his place so they can be moved to Dallas when he goes

What I am doing after that:

• collapsing in a hot bath and crying my eyes out
• likely napping

Today the paperwork prep, tomorrow the paperwork and settlement agreement, Monday the Big Monster Problem That Shall Not Be Named can be dealt with again.

Okay, now I am crying. Just a little.

Back later to report most likely...

t /my problems, for a while

t wants desperately to be able to do something for Cass

I'm not really here. I'm working at Panera on an essay and avoiding my schoolwork, but I just popped on the board and saw that post. Just needed to again tell you how much I love and admire you and want all the best for you. I'm so, so sorry, hon.

{{{Cass}}} I hope your bath is lovely and glitter-filled.

---

Potential tattoo: Choku Rei, the Reiki symbol for strength.

---

I like that one, Steph. Where would you put it? Right over the scar?

---

That is GORGEOUS, Tep. Go for it!

I am really not here now.

---

{{{Cass}}} That's a lot to get done in one day. You deserve a hot bath made with sparkly ~ma of all varieties.

Whooo! Teppy tattoo!

---

{{{Cass}}} I wish I could help.

I like the tattoo, Teppy.

Annabel slept from 11:30 p.m. to 9:45 a.m., after a week where she's been refusing to sleep before 1:00, waking up briefly at some ungodly hour like 4:00, or else waking up for good at 6:45 or so instead of her usual 8:30 and complicating the sacred weekday morning shower schedule.

I woke up at 9:30, and once I ascertained she was still breathing, I was overjoyed.

---

SA, now, would I tell Roz to look out for you? She said, putting on a look of completely false injured innocence?

Well, I appreciate it either way. Tomorrow will be the third day in a row I've had tea with her--I'm rather lucky in that.

but the deeply sick fuck in me snickers at the ghastly possibilities of SA/town crier.

::shudders:: Thanks for the image, there.

Very pretty tat, Tep. I'll go with you when/if you get it, if you like.

So, hey. I bought a corset today. Specifically this one from Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium near Islington. Size 32, baybee! It rocks. It was 92 pounds, which I quite honestly cannot afford, but it was the right time, you know? It felt right. There will be pictures soon, as we're going out to Heaven "the most famous gay nightclub in the world," conveniently located right across the street from out hotel.
