She texted me earlier today that she would like to bring kiddos over to our pool today (it belongs to our homeowners association). I said 'that would be fine'.

I rode my bicycle 50 miles today! I'll sleep good tonight!

I haven't been taking the bait when she sends me a really nasty, hurtful text. I just put my rainjacket on, while she's spewing, and pretty much let it roll off me!

My two daughters came in from the pool to our house shortly after I got in from riding. They fixed themselves something to eat, and I gave my oldest daughter the gifts I brought mher back from Colorado. Then they went back to the pool. Wife called me from the pool later and said son was hot and wanted to come to our house, so I went and got him. He stayed
with me until they left the pool and swung by to pick him up. It's hotter than fire here in central Oklahoma right now.
