GReek, you will love this. So W calls today (she was dark until this afternnon much to the disappointment of S10 who she had promised to call this morning (but right on script). Anyway, she asks what I am doing and I tell her I am busy painting the Bathroom. She says why? I say, because I feel like it needs a change. She makes no more comment.
She calls back 2 hours later and says - so what color is it? I say the color of the hallway, she says "I bet it looks nice" in this tone of I wish I could be there to help. Well, all the while I am thinking how proud I am of doing it. Not because she cares, but because I like it. ITs not perfect, but for a Sunday afternoon job, I am pretty happy with it. Tomorrow I will put in new hardware, and voila, a brand new bathroom. A bathroom that I like. In a way, painting over the old wallpaper with new paint felt somewhat symbolic. Oh I also replaced a door mat. I know, silly, but hey, its what I wanted.....
Now..... what else needs my "manly" touch... Oh, I have to fix the toilet. Thats not too much fun.
More tomorrow on the kid situation. Watching this one very closely.
I will see W on Tuesday for the first time since she bolted Friday. She mentioned something about us all going out to dinner. Because I have the kids, I will do it if they want. If it was just me, the answer would be "love to, but i have have something going on."
As you can tell from this post, my attitude today is much better. Not sure what will happen when I see her Tuesday, but, its got happen so I will keep my emotions in check. If i sense problems, I will posting them instead of talking to her about it.
Anyway, we shall see how Tuesday goes. I feel like I am 2 minutes into the first quarter of a very long ballgame.
