Well, today was a strange day - I didn't sleep much last night, so I ended up 'working from home' today. That means I sat on my couch, watching TV, while I did some stuff at the office. Probably more productive than my days when I'm actually in the office, but that's besides the point.

I ended up talking to a friend that I used to work with this morning, and she invited me out for lunch. She knew W pretty well, and we would get together a lot for dinner and stuff a long time ago. We talked for maybe an hour and a half or so - She knows all the details of my R with W and what is going on. It was really refreshing to talk to someone about it, and my whole afternoon was much brighter having had that interaction. She pretty much slammed W for being so flaky and told me that I needed to stop being so nice and putting up with W's crap. In part I agree - W really needs to have to deal with her own problems, rather than having me try to clean up the mess.

I picked D up from daycare and she didn't have any of her stuff with her. I didn't have much choice but to call W, since D wouldn't sleep if she didn't have 'Piggy'. W answered her home phone and said we could come over and pick the stuff up. W hadn't gone to work either, and she had made no effort with herself today - Didn't do her hair, no makeup and crappy clothes. She had stuff for D ready to go, so we took it all out to the car. I asked W if she was okay, and she just said 'yes'. She would barely even have a conversation with me, which I guess is to be expected. When we were in the house, she did say that she would come over sometime to help me work on the house (mostly painting), and when she put D in the car she said she might see her tomorrow - Not normally her night, but we've sometimes gone together to take D for fast food on Thursday.

Random things

1) W has not been on IM all day long. No idea why. The fact that she missed work also is curious. Probably some crap with OM. She's missed three days of work in four years and two of them have been in the last three weeks. Normally she'd not even take off work if she was coughing up a lung.

2) She went to Staples and bought one of those $30 divorce kits. Probably in reference to my comment last night about how I didn't want to waste money on lawyers.

3) When I called her to go and pick up D's stuff, I felt REALLY sick driving to her house. I had no desire at all to have anything to do with her right now. I was feeling kind of detached today until I saw her again - My natural instinct with W is to try and 'fix her', which obviously isn't going to work out too well.

She is obviously really down at the moment. She has a C appt tomorrow, so we'll see what happens after that. We have her birthday gathering scheduled for Sunday afternoon, so who knows how that will work out...
