W sent an e-mail earlier asking what clothes to pack for D this weekend. I didn't tell her our plans, but was cheery and nice in the return e-mail.

She later sent one asking for me to put more of her "stuff" in the garage for her to have some of her "buddies" come and pick up. Ok, I'm not going to allow OM to be at my house, so I'll need to work w/ that one.

Anyway, I replied w/ "Hey that is weird b/c I was honestly thinking about how you needed the bed and dressers today too." I also said I'd help her load a truck and I hadn't thought about splitting any other furniture items right now, but asked her what she'd like to have from the house. I also made sure to remind her that I owed her money for some clothes she purchased for D to have w/ me. I did this to show I'm not withholding money from her, but she still owes me roughly $1100 from past money I've spent on her bills once she left. I'll probably never see it, but it is worth a try to leave a trail.

I think I can do a better job at handling her nicely right now and I'll only need to be "distant" when she's being really, really icy (which is usually daily).

Anyway, I'm in a decent place right now, except for the fact I have to grade papers and get up early to turn in grades tomorrow. Yuck. Oh, well. Spring Break is officially on as soon as my grades are in.

One last thing... I hope I didn't lose my friends out there by switching to this forum. I left the link in the old thread and I'm hoping they'll find me again. I really love and appreciate all of you guys.

Talk to you later.
