Spoils

When I divorced, I left a 26 year marriage. On the whole, it was a wonderful marriage. But people change; I changed; and shared values twisted and turned away from themselves until it became apparent that what we had at the beginning of the marriage was not what we had at the end. So we divorced.

There wasn't much to divide. I left with only:

a chair


an end table


a piano

and a huge credit card debt. I know it's not proper to throw dollar amounts out into the public eye, but I will anyway. The debt was:


Sigh.

I've been living with that for two years, trying to pay it down but hardly getting anywhere with it.

My goal, beginning November 1, is to eradicate that debt. It will be a difficult, fun, exciting, frustrating, and, hopefully overall, a year that I will never forget.

But we'll see.
