Plank removed from eye, too late for WAW? 5

[Heimlich]

WAW, I know what you mean by college furniture. I've got a card table for a dining room table, two WallyWorld bookshelves that I've had for almost a decade sandwiched around an antique bookcase and another wallyworld bookcase I've had since college in the kitchen to use as a mini-pantry. The bookcases were fine in the basement of the house, but lack a certain something when in a proper living area. Just have to replace a few things at a time.

Like you, I'm a little torn in that i don't want to buy too much, because I really would like to reconcile. Suppose my strategy will be to buy stuff that could work with what's still at the house.

Mini-journal:

First day of switching the girls over went OK. Picked them up at their usual bus stop, grabbed a few things from the house (amazing how much stuff one acquires over the years), and came back my place for homework. Regular afternoon routine for them (going to have to switch my schedule to start working earlier so that I can spend some time with them in the afternoon. They can't just go outside to play here.)

W picked them up around 6. I had gotten pretty much everything straightened up by then, got a 'Looks nice' comment. I'm a bit messy, one of my DBing efforts is going to be keeping this place straight (both for me and a very visible show to her of change on my part). She sent me an email late yesterday afternoon with a link to an article about Robert Jordan dying (author of Wheel of Time series, I'm a fantasy geek). She's not dropped a random bit of info like that to me in months.

Told her that I left her van key at the house. She was surprised since she still has a key to the car. Said you're close and I can borrow it if needed and get the key then.

Walked them down to the van. W was lingering behind the van, I guess unsure of whether or not to hug. I kept distance and didn't initiate, said have a good night. Gave the girls' hugs and kisses and went for a run.
