A week and a half ago, I learned that my divorce attorney was diagnosed with a fatal illness with months to live.
Last week, a government attorney asked the court to hold her in contempt and arrest her so that she could have 24 hours of sleep.
Today, I realized the timing of my husband disclosing his crush on his boss and lack of attraction in me immediately followed a period of me investing everything into helping his parents after his dad's diagnosis and only about six months after me being offered a job in LA that I would have hated but was my way of concretely showing him my support for the career path he really wanted to follow. His response to me showing up for him was to go find another woman.
Today at work we got a goodbye speech (with no specific exit date) from our number one in command and learned the retirement of the number two in command effective next Friday. This is all many, many months before I expect the Senate confirmation process to finish.
And I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg. What else is lurking below that I wasn't able to process in the moment but just tucked away to deal with another day?
