Went from work to grab some dinner, then to the Men's group at church. It was a great time, learned a lot, met some new people, get to race go-karts with them next Tuesday too! It lasted for about 3 hrs, from 7pm to 10pm. The topic was "A man and his relationships" which included a man's relationship with God, his woman, himself and time. There was also lots of talk about raising your kids and relating to them and preparing them for the future. Also about trying to create a "springboard" to launch them off so they can achieve more than they could on their own and more than you'll be able to do in your own life.
At about 9:20pm my wife sent me "nite sleep tight" and I replied with "U 2". Kind of backwards from our interactions in the past when I'd be the one saying stuff like "sleep tight" and she'd be using short things like "U 2". So I was kind of surprised when 15 mins later she was calling me. I hadn't spoken to her since Saturday, I'd say one of, if not the longest periods of not speaking to her since the bomb. She asked what I was up to, I told her I was at a men's meeting at church, she asked about work and she wanted to know "why I was pulling my hair out" which was a reference to a text message I'd sent her and she wanted to know if I'd sold any of the land we're developing. I told her a bit about what all I need to get done, how there were lots of theories and ideas from the Vegas trip, but I have to figure out how to make it reality and produce the business plan and the spreadsheets that calculate everything, the process flowcharts, and it has to be done before Monday's meetings. Talked about the kids a bit, I asked her how her day was at one point and she just said fine, no details and I didn't press for them. Talked about 8 mins total, I thanked her for calling at one point and said goodnight, but she kept talking about something. Strange to have her calling and showing interest in what I'm doing instead of me being the one doing it.
Talked to my mom a bit tonight after she was done watching the Red Soxs lose (again). We talked a bit about stuff from the IC session, I told her I don't hold anything against her, she has taken responsibility for what she did good and bad. My dad on the other hand has taken no responsibility, but we both have let go of any anger, now it is more a feeling of feeling sorry for his limited life. But he has chosen it, no matter how he was raised, who he continues to be in life is his choice.
Worked in the shop with S15 and S13 on the lawnmower and the Camaro. Still have to broken off bolts to fix on the lawnmower, but got one door hung on the Camaro. Told S15 some things he can work on if he is looking for stuff to do on the Camaro. Didn't get to spend much time with S15 today, but tried to make the best of it.
