OM/PA, MLC and the hits keep coming............Pt2

[andyv]

Well, my W left to go to her friends house (after her cousins visit) to make "stuffed cabbages". It is a Baltic dish, mince meat and rice wrapped in sour cabbage leaves. Her group (post MLC friends) organise one of them to make a heritage dish every couple of weeks, and it was my W's turn.

She has only ever cooked a dozen times in our 13 year marriage, as I did all the cooking (she lives off toasted sandwiches or frozen meals when I go away for work). So it is good that she is at least trying now, just in case her OM can't cook either

She left home at around 1pm, and I asked her if she could be back by 4pm, as I needed to do something before work at 10pm, she said "no probs".

Well, as per normal, she rocks home at 6:30 pm (no phone call to say she would be late, I didn't bother calling her). I normally would have called her at 4:01pm and had a go (pre bomb), but the new me just let it go.

When she got home, DD and I were skylarking in her bedroom. W walked in and was very pleasant, told me about the making of the dish, and that it took longer than normal to prepare, very pleasant indeed. I was in a happy mood due to DD and let it go (I think she was waiting for a neg response).

Anyway, she made me a nice coffee, we sat downstairs for a little bit whilst we drank our coffees with DD, had a bit of a chat, very nice.

Then I wished her a successful tupperware party, and told her that I stocked up the pantry with chips and dips for her party, along with some finger foods to heat up in the oven.

Then left to have dinner at my sisters house, where I am right now. I still have a few hours to kill till I go to work, but I didn't want to hang around with all of W's friends and relatives (as most of them know what is going on). And I think she would probably prefer me not to be there.

Well, that was my day today. All in all, other than W bringing up the D papers, I had an enjoyable one. I also got to spend heaps of time with DD which was excellent.

I also got some good news about our home (W wants to sell up). My sister is thinking about investing in it (paying out W) so that I can keep it. I reckon it would be great for DD to have the stability of keeping her home and her room. And all the stuff we have accumulated, I dread having to move elswhere.
