My wife is now my ex-wife, or will be when the court processes the documents. We signed papers in front of a Notary Public at a bank. For some reason she didn't invite us into her office so we were standing awkwardly at a counter/stand in the middle of the lobby.

Ex [signing papers]
Me: Are you signing MY papers?
Ex: No, these are MINE.
Me: Good. We're supposed to have everything separate now, including signatures. It's right here in these papers.

Later...
Me [knocking over a promotional sign on the weird counter thing, almost knocking a tote bag and umbrella onto the floor]: Oops!
Ex: I can't take you anywhere.
Me: Hence the divorce.

When the papers were all signed...
Notary [Looking directly at my ex]: "Congratulations"

Ex [looking at me]: (WTF face)
Me: (IDK face)

A #Saturday night #eagle update, for anyone still following them. My first visit today, and "wow."

Catching them at sunset (18:58 nest-time) and there has clearly been snow.

The sun is setting, so the mountains to the east, where we generally see the sun rise are painted orange and pink (and white with snow) as tonight it sets. Gorgeous

A quick #eagle check-in this Tuesday morning. Shadow, the male, got on the nest quite early, and gets a face full of sun at dawn.

Being a responsible adult and father also means accepting that my first child-free dinner in months (years?) gets cancelled for really good reasons.
I'm still sad about it, but I accept it.
