Hey Brit. I just got caught up on your thread. It sounds like you had a good Christmas full of positives. It's good to hear and I'm happy for you. What did you end up writing in the card to your W? It must have been well received whatever it was.

I just wrote "I hope you and D have a wonderful Christmas". She opened it pretty early in the day, so think the thoughtfulness of it got lost in the shuffle.
My card is the only card she has at her house... I feel bad for her.
Curious day - D slept in late, so I didn't get going until almost 10am this morning. I IM'd W and told her that W slept a lot and that I was taking her to school - W is working this week, but I'm not. W told me there were very few people at work, so I suggested that we go for lunch since I was going to be close to downtown where W works. She didn't seem all that excited about it, so I just left it alone.
I got my errands done, so I called W at work as I was leaving to go home - No answer; didn't bother leaving a VM. Rather than go by downtown, I ended up just heading home. I was about 5mins from home and she called me and asked if I wanted lunch - I obviously accepted, but made up an excuse as to why it would take me 20mins to get to her, and she seemed okay with it. I picked her up at her office and we went to a restaurant together a little while way. It was a nice drive and we talked a lot. W told me again that she needed to go to a therapist because her anti-depressants were not really helping. Also got a lot of "I have a bill from so and so, but I can't pay it right now". I offered to pay a couple of bills that were related to D that W ended up with, and she didn't object.
I dropped her off at work and she gave me a kiss as she was leaving. We were both sick with sinus infections, so W didn't want to 'share' too much.
Totally out of the blue she called me tonight to ask if I was feeling better. W is weird about using phones, so it is very rare for her to call at all - I figured she'd just IM me from home, if at all. We talked for 10 minutes or so, about all sorts of things. She just seemed lonely and I know she is missing D. I asked if she wanted to get dinner, but she said her house smells like cat poo and she wants to clean it up - Suggested we get together tomorrow instead.
Oh, and she spent all day at work playing with her Christmas gift from me, rather than doing anything productive. She seems pretty happy with it. I think it's starting to hit home with her that she could have all of her financial woes solved very quickly if she wasn't so stubborn.
(12:17:49 PM) H: did you put it on the mac? (12:18:02 PM) W: yup (12:18:08 PM) W: it is the perfect laptop! (12:18:12 PM) H: heheh (12:18:21 PM) H: I'm glad you like it (12:18:33 PM) W: thank you so much! (12:18:41 PM) W: I really do love it, but it was way too much (12:18:49 PM) W: I love it more than I thought I would :-) (12:19:04 PM) H: I hoped you would (12:19:30 PM) W: oh yes (12:19:36 PM) W: it's really awesome (12:20:07 PM) H: (12:20:18 PM) H: I'm so happy that you're enjoying it (12:20:47 PM) W: of course I am...I'm a techie ;-) (12:21:08 PM) H: oh yeah (12:21:23 PM) H: I sort of noticed that ;-)
Not yet - She hasn't mention it yet, so I'll probably bring it up at dinner tomorrow. It is her night with D, so I don't think she'll want to go anywhere. Maybe just a movie night with popcorn.
W called and asked if she can come over and see D tonight. She's always pretty slow - Not here yet
