Coping with Bi-Polar WAW

[CountingCrows]

Well, guess I don't have to deal with W today. She just called about 15 minutes before she was to come over and said that she thought she was coming down with the flu (fever, aches, pains), and was going back to bed. I was very upbeat and only offered a single "Hope you get to feeling better", but didn't coddle her, like I would in the past when she was sick. I asked if she wanted to talk to S7, and she said she'd call him back later today.

Told W that tomorrow my Dad will be picking up son since he has one more day of vacation, while I have to go back to work. Told her I'd see her Tuesday, and quickly got off the phone before she spent anymore of my time feeling sorry for herself. S7 is disappointed, but his friend who'd been gone for the holidays just came over and his sadness disappeared immediately.

Suspect that although W was sick yesterday, she bowed out of taking S7 overnight because she made plans for last night (OM-connected venue had "Cancer Sucks" concert last night). Could be wrong...don't know this for sure, and frankly don't really care. But, if she's feeling like $hit today because she went out last night...GOOD! Regardless, gives me more time to detach before our next face-to-face.

Myself, I had a great time last night. Went to the library and dinner with S7. Later had a platonic female friend come over and visit. Played with son until his bedtime then watched TV, drank a couple of beers and talked until after midnight. Definitely something to be said for GAL!

Going forward with my housecleaning and bathroom renovation project while S7 plays Wii with his friend this afternoon.
