Retirement Accounts Ready to be Divided

Dow got an email from his lawyer, only about 7 months after the divorce, Loyola administration is catching up on its incompetence. It never submitted the proper request to divide the accounts is my understanding.

The divorce settlement issue is just about over-of course if we had each gotten our money in a timely fashion, maybe it would be a little larger amount than it sure is now! From a DJ of 14,000 when we separated to under half of that now. So the settlement is worth about 1/2 of what it would have been in 2006 when we separated and started the divorce process.

I collected the last items from the condo this week. Dow came out to my car with them: photos and my mother's kitchen tools that we had displayed in the kitchen. Felt funny in that I was shocked about how he looked. Dow looks haggard with snow white hair. The total time we were married Dow colored his hair to look younger and wanted me to do the same. It almost looks like he got a permanent but I sure didn't want to ask so we will never know!

My landlord called and wants me to "straighten up the apartment" as he wants to show it. It does look like a hurricane went through, I have piles and boxes in every room. I was to begin to pack today-about 4 weeks before the move, but I am on call and guess what although I never get called to visit...I got a call, patient and family want to meet to sign on to hospice. End of plan-off to Wheeling where I spent 2 hours talking about hospice and signing her up. With two hours of travel also, there went the better part of the day!

I had to come home to bake the Eucharistic bread for the liturgy as part of World Day of Prayer for Women's Ordination. We may get as much as 6 inches of snow overnight so I hope I can get to the liturgy tomorrow!
