Hurtin... like YoYo said.. keep it short and to the point. Only talk about things that have to deal with D. If it starts going in other directions, say you have to go.
It's also for self preservation. The more you are in contact, the more you will think about her and the M. Have you made a list of things you would like to change? If not, try that and start working on what you can. Want to change the arrangement of the house? Do it.
Idle hands/minds are not good things right now. Keep yourself busy. Focus on you and your D. W is an alien right now. You don't speak alien do you?
