Thanks, Kristin and P-C. I appreciate the offers.

My car has easily passed the smog check; I just need to do the registration which I can do online. The snog test, Ginger, is more of an ad hoc thing. I suspect my car snogs well. Maybe with an import... The convertible and the sports car...

I also picked up some comfort food that can get me through the weekend and got a lovely French pedicure on my way home. I am thinking of just curling up and getting though the rest of the day whatever it takes now.

My divorce is final, final, final today. In theory. We signed the last papers six months ago and the courts were supposed to send us each a copy once they were officially entered. Then it was just a case of waiting the six months (thanks State of California) out. But neither of us ever got anything from the court. So not only am I dealing with the “piece of paper has today’s date” signaling the last death throe of my marriage, I don't actually have the paper. Fuck.

I don't think anything will snog my car until I get it washed.

My hair is all blonde(r) streaky now! I look like I've been to the beach!

Also, I have chocolate all over me, because I made chocolate-dipped strawberries for a party tonight. Messy.

And now I have to jump in the shower so that I no longer look like a chocolate monster.

Mmm, chocolate coated Tep...

Cass, you know I'm thinking about you today, I hope. {{{love to Cassiepants}}}

It hasn't rained since I went to the grocery store. In fact it's been really beautiful. I feel bad for locking Mom's cat in the house all day.

I sat outside and read for awhile and then I went and took a really nice, really wonderful Lush bath (half a butterball, half an avobath) and I applied lots of Buffy the backside slayer so I'm all soft and clean.

And hungry. I probably should have had a bath after I made dinner.

The beauty of a good bath is that it can be duplicated and revisited again and again.

Except maybe in France.

So I hear. t /disclaimer

Good baths are a thing of beauty. I think there is a bath bomb in my evening plans.

Thanks for the hugs and good thoughts. I am feeling mostly okay right now. In this very instant. It's varied all day. Mostly it is just so damn sad. So sad...
