Oh well, the mediator visit got cancelled... apparently our mediator called in sick yesterday. Worked out ok though, S8 was sick at home too, so I was at home to take care of him.

W was off to take S5 to school and to Ikea to get herself that single bed she so desperately needs. I got the pleasure of rearranging the whole study and putting her bed together, and still got a shouty W in the evening. And her new spin on the moving into the study was that its because we have been sleeping badly...

Also got the "I've removed our relationship status from Facebook" line because she doesn't want her new co-workers to ask her why it is listed as "its complicated", also took down her old blog (again!) because one post from years ago critisized her new employer.

Evening was mostly calm, W went to gym just after supper. Came home, showered, moaned about how the laundry has piled up, did 15 minutes of ironing (yes, I'm a caveman, I can't iron) making a point of not ironing my shirts again. W then was tired and was going to go to sleep at 10pm but was chatting online until 11pm instead. I sat and watched some tv until just after that and went to bed.

Strange how W complained of not being able to sleep last night, she thinks its the nerves/stress of starting the new job. I'm thinking that part of it is that its another step out the door, even though she is the one that wants to leave I think it scares her. I didn't sleep too well either, pretty sure it was the various stress points of the day. W was so tired this morning that she was asking if the sleeping tabs my sister gave me have any "lag" effect the next day... guess the "no tablets" junta is weakening there. Also W complains that she doesn't want to go to the gym every time she goes now, motivation is failing even though she has muscled up and dropped so much weight doing it.

Anyway, W is looking for a mediator closer to home now, postponed until the end of the month... was even talking about using an online divorce site (hmm, not keen on those, too many things can go wrong and invalidate the divorce). Good part? W is still saying that she wants a simple divorce, no contest, no fighting for everything, so I might make it out the other side with at least some of my finances in tact.

Tired, a bit down, but smiling anyway!
