Sorry I didn't explain it better, but W is house sitting down in town about 20 miles away and when she packed up she had the attitude of kids with me for her work week and then with her on her days off at the house sitting house,then back with me next week. I asked if she was coming back on her days off to wash clothes or see the dogs or anything and she said that she need to have some space and she will see me when the owners of the house return next week.
I feel like it is a test, or a mini seperation, but then this AM she called and chatted on the phone like everything was OK. I tried super hard to not pursue or ask her if we could see her for dinner, and as of now (7:00 pm) she hasn't called after work and I am not going to call her.
As far as getting outside, I am/or was a very active person. My job allows me plenty of time outside in the mountains and am very greatful for that. Today I hung out with the kids and just enjoyed the day with them.
I was invited to two BBq's this weekend and then camping next weekend with some other friends so I am working on GAL and moving forward hoping WAW will want to come along. She will hear about the camping trip, so we shall see.
Hope this all makes sense and I do apologize if it feels like I am hijacking your thread. I feel like we are all in this together and it gives me peace and comfort knowing others are hurting and struggling as well.
By the way, just take the bike to bike shop and have them do a complete tune up on it. Some shops can do that while you wait, or by the end of they day and then you will have it for the weekend (if it ever stops raining here in CO).
