Well...
This could well be the most civilized divorce in history - so far. Stopped by to see S on my way home from work on Friday, and had dinner with she and her parents. Her parents are not happy, but aren't inserting themselves into the situation, either. S is not happy, but seems resigned to it.
The house is on the market, and the agent listed it for more than I expected and seems confident of a quick sale. Houses in this area and price range are moving well right now. I hope she's right; the sooner we can get past this all, the sooner we can both move on with our lives and get over it. A friend told me something like, if it must be done, do it quickly. Sound advice, I believe.
I'll get some boxes this week and start cleaning out the attic and packing things up. Since S is staying with her parents, half the garage is available for stacking stuff. E and I have cleaned the house, mowed and generally spiffied the place up; looks decent.
Onward...
