How's it going lookout?

alive and kicking. i've got my rental house set up and running now, and my new build should be done around january or february. i don't have time to really go into details right now but cliff's notes version:

1) interactions between the not-quite-ex are really really stupid at this point. she is now taking "niravam" to control her panic attacks - but she is perfectly mentally healthy, remember?

2) my son's teacher pulled me aside and asked what is going on. i'd already told her about the separation/divorce. apparently on the 3 days a week i drop him off at school he is happy, friendly... normal little lookout. on the 2 days she drops him off he gets in trouble, cries, and refuses to do some of his projects. not good.

3) anybody remember my goal to triple my income for the year? yeah, well with all the stress i haven't been able to do that. but i have more than doubled it year over year. stupid bitch complaining that i don't make enough money...

anyway, i'll fill in some gaps later.

Why fight to triple your income when she's going to get half of it?

no spousal support. one of her big arguments for keeping the house, etc. is that she is the one who always made the money, started the projects, etc. that is BS but i let her make the case, because she managed to argue herself out of spousal support. she makes a rather significant income herself anyway.

child support will be a necessary evil, but for now it is not needed because i am carrying medical, paying his tuition, etc.

and even if making more just means i'm giving her more... i know long term it isn't a healthy goal, but i want her every single month when she is struggling to maintain her lifestyle to 1) realize that i was integral in building that lifestyle, 2) she can't do it without me. yes, i know that it is likely that she will just find a replacement to make life easier. but she will still know.

she already does, but won't admit it. we each had to submit our YTD incomes last week and she nearly shit when she realized that so far this year i've made more than we did as a couple the entire year our son was born.

it's not about the money for me. it never was. but apparently it became all about the money for her, so i want her to see how badly she effed up.

This reminds me of a probably inappropriate joke, but when has that ever stopped me?

Our hero is walking along the beach,sorting things out. Bottle. Genie. three wishes. A catch: what ever you wish for your adversary gets twice what you get.

Our hero wishes for:
1) Painlessly straightened teeth. His adversary gets perfect, white, painlessly straightened teeth.
2) Beautiful 10,000 square foot pleasure palace. Adversary? 20,000sf.
The genie asks "what is your last wish?"
Our hero says: "I want you to beat me half to death."

ok wrong.
