Oh, I three-putted on both #7 and #16. Ticked me off! But, if you don't practice, can you really expect to play well? The answer is NO, so I just enjoyed the opportunity to go out and play.
Yesterday's contact w/ W was interesting. First, she sent me a text while I was on the course asking if I had plans for the 4th which I answered "not yet." She replied back saying she hadn't figured out "visitation" - I HATE THAT WORD! I replied telling her to take D for the 4th b/c I had her for Labor Day and we'd figure out a different way for me to see her next week. Then she called me while we were on the course and I answerd and said "I'm on the golf course and I can't talk right now. We're almost done. Can I call you when I'm driving home?" She said "Oh, I'll just talk to you later" and hung up. I tried to call her from the car, but got her voice mail, so I just left a message.
Then I was out w/ a friend looking at a potential small business opportunity so I can look to cut my taxes down further now that I'm on my own, when D called and began grilling me as to where I was. I wasn't sure how much detail D wanted and I was answering her questions, but she got really angry, said "He's just saying he's in Scottsdale" to W and then just said "bye, dad" and hung up. I found this to be odd as it sounded like W was using D to pump me for info.
W called back about 25 minutes later and was ticked off at me and using the F-word liberally - oh, where was my recorder when I needed it? Anyway, she denied profusely that she cared where I was "I don't care if you are out on a date or whereever. I really don't, but for some reason it is really important for D to know where you are."
I told W that I had been trying to answer D's questions, but she kept getting mad at me and that I had told her where I was and who I was with, but W was still kind of pissy. I then asked "Do you want me to tell her I'm in a bar drinking (which is where I was)?" W answered "just tell her you are at restaurant X or restaurant Y." I countered w/ "So, you want me to lie to her? I thought we were supposed to always be truthful?"
W didn't like that too much and steadfastly denied her telling me to lie to D - even though she just did - and went on a bit more. I finally got her to stop repeating the same things over and over and thanked her for letting me know that D feels better if she has my exact location, etc. so I'll be more specific in the future w/ telling her things. We then discussed today's pickup and then W did her usual hang up w/out the courtesy of being polite.
So, it seems to me that W does hate the fact that she can't control me, but wasn't I supposed to be the controlling one? Hmmm. Sounds a bit odd to me, especially since she repeatedly denied wanting to know where I was at but made sure to say things like "I don't care if you are on a date" or "I don't care if you are at a strip club." If she didn't care, why would these even be brought up? The answer. They wouldn't.
So, last night was interesting on several fronts. The business part is interesting and so is the fact that W was playing another one of her games. However, I didn't let her affect my mood as I just said - "That's just W being W" or "that is just Crazy being Crazy." They are peas in a pod these days.
Now, I'm trying to finish up my basic morning stuff so I can get my cardio work in before I pick up D at noon, so I'll be running for now and check back w/ you all later.
