It looks like you're looking for concrete responses, just like I do. Here's my opinion:
I would reply saying 'I have tomorrow off so DD and I will be spending some time in San Diego'. If you think it will trigger some kind of upset or anger, maybe send it tomorrow AM instead. You're taking her out of school, then? Is that something normally you and W would discuss first?
I like this response: 'Actually, the current schedule works really well for me [I might even thrown in reasons it works well for D6, too, if you have any]. Is there a particular reason you want to change it?'
Why are you paying a water bill for a house you don't live in when you have your own utilities to pay? Does she work? If she does, I'd let her know it's appropriate for her to pay it. If you've already been giving her money for the util., I'd send her an email saying "that money I've given you should cover this, per our arrangement. If you need to discuss a different arrangement, let me know." or something like that. short and to the point.

Also as an aside I noticed DD was wearing a shirt with a big heart in the middle that says stuff like 'my dad is awesome, I love my dad etc' - I asked if DD picked it out, she said no mommy did...weird.
Maybe she went to the same 'mixed messages' seminar my H seems to have gone to over the weekend
When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go; And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow; Go ask Alice... I think she'll know.
