Had a great weekend with S, flu bug or no. Today was fantastic, we really had a good time. Got lots of great pictures, contemplated sending ome prints with him to MIL's, but decided to only send the tourist trap picture (it's the only one of both of us, kind of hard to get any pictures together with him when it's just the two of us).
S had some real breakthroughs to day in terms of bravery and learning. Great kid, all around. Took him to his favorite restaurant for dinner, one of the waitresses who has always had a shine for him made it a point to come and talk to us. I could be wrong, but I definitely think she was coming on to me. Nice.
The goodnight call was pretty stilted, W was somewhere with a lot of background noise (and a prominent male voice that I can only assume was OM). S was pretty excited about his day and tried to share as man details as he could, but W could not get off the phone fast enough (from guilt or indifference is anyone's guess). When I got back on the phone with her, she made some perfunctory inquiries regarding S's health, I told her his fever had come back (it has), but that I thought he was over the worst of it. She then told me we should have a good night, I returned the sentiment, she said bye-bye. This was my one and only "shot" tonight, but I really meant it: Rather than saying goodnight or bye, as has been my custom, I very clearly said the word "Goodbye". No malice or anything, just my way of saying it's truly over.
Plans for the future: I'm taking the week off from the sitch. No unnecessary contact whatsoever, no callbacks, nothing. I plan on seeing S on Wednesday, but that's it. Probably do some lawyer shopping, as there seems to be a problem with the curent guy, but I may just leave that till next week. I just need a break.
So, anyway, she loves OM. Big deal. Her car is still on the verge of collapse, her creditors are now calling 3 times a day, virtually all of her "friends" have abandoned her, and now the father of her child would be much, much happier if he never had to hear from her again. Good going, W.
