I actually think it is good the way you are feeling. You have worked very hard at detaching and showing your W what a strong person you are. I think the way you are feeling now is going to help you keep your expectations low for Christmas. I think that is very important. Focus on you and D.
You're right - W was really cranky and moody tonight, so the fact that I wasn't feeling too excited about it probably helped me deal with it all. Normally we just joke around, have fun and talk a lot. She didn't hardly laugh at anything for the first hour or so. She eventually warmed up, but she was just weird for a long time. She seemed very preoccupied and unhappy.
We drove around all over the place - She basically had no gifts for anyone, so we went to Target and picked out things for most of her family. I ended up offering to pay for it, since they're really coming from both of us, then W bought a load of gift cards from Giant Eagle for other people.
Since we got home really late, I ended up keeping D tonight to avoid her having to deal with the 30min drive back to W's house - W seemed to appreciate that, since she looked totally exhausted, so I guess she is coming over tomorrow.
W kept asking me questions about where I'm moving, when I'm moving, what I'm doing, and so forth. Not sure if she's just trying to be interested, or if there is something else running through her head about it.
Time to start wrapping all of the gifts we just bought for folks
