Jeff, I wouldn't even tell her why I was turning my phone off because you need to go somewhere to clear your head. You are volunteering too much info about who you are with and what you are doing. She knows that your pond will be there and knows that you are there for her. So, to shake her up a bit, just cut the phone off, do not answer it until you are ready to come home. She needs to understand that you are not there at her beck and call.
You'll learn the ropes as you move along the path.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
