Take back the power, baby!

My brilliant sister inspired me.  It's time to empower myself.  So today is a day that is primarily about kicking ass.  Birth certificate ordered.  Passport paperwork completed.  Divorce paperwork about 80 percent of the way there (pending my credit report which has proven more difficult to obtain than my husband's).  I found out that once I get the paperwork filed, I could be divorced in as few as twenty days.  Twenty days! 

You know, I thought I'd been a little more sentimental over this.  The divorce paperwork required the official date of our separation.  I listed August 3, 2009.  Do you know how long we've been separated? 

-Based on a 360-date equation, we've been separated 304 days. 

-That is 84 percent of a year. 

-In 54 days we will have been separated for one year.

Forgive me, I haven't been able to flex my statistician muscles in a long time.  But you get the picture.

And here's the thing.  I know exactly what I want in life now.  I don't want any barriers.  So cheers!  When I get some official government stamps on official government paperwork, drinks are on me.
