So my w. just called me at work. She had a flat tire in our garage. I tried to talk her through changing it, but it got stuck. In the meantime she kept asking me about my "date" on friday night. I told her firmly that I was not dating. She got a bit defensive and said she was "just trying to make conversation."
I drove 45 minutes from work, hit the tire with a baseball bat, and changed it. I just kissed the kids and kept moving. She called on my drive back to work to give me the outrageous price that it is going to cost to get two new tires. I told her no problem just get the new tires. She apologized profusely as she keeps having car expenses and I think she feels guilty for the amount of money we are pouring into her car before we get D. I told her not to worry about it. I think I did a pretty good job from a db perspective. At least externally.
