The year of not my problem

[AJM]

Journaling:
Had a great relaxing weekend. WAS was out of town for most of it. Ended the weekend seeing the confirmands I worked with all year have their ceremony. Was great to see.
Something that was said to me last Christmas by Matt, the old running buddy came to mind today. Not sure why. He told me how my wife reminded him of how his was previously. What's odd is that mind is acting now exactly like his was when I met her. Going out of her way to be mean and nasty and "prove" how bad I am. Weird to some degree, but it came to mind. I dismissed her meanness and kept moving, but it struck me and I had to get it out of my system and into my online journal. Basically she asked if I had gotten any money from a vehicle I sold. I told her some of it. She smiled (like a dog about to bite) and asked if I had signed it over yet. I told her yes. She said, "so you gave up your leverage?" as if she had just beaten me at monopoly or something. I didn't lose it though - I just told her I work with the guy and I'm not worried about it. I'm not. But after that it struck me how much she is acting like Susan (his stbx). Bizarre how they follow the same patterns.

Next weekend should be good. It'll just be me and S13. D15 is headed out with some friends; I suggested she do it, because she was on the fence about whether or not to go or stay home with me and her brother. I think the poor kid needs a break with just friends.

More later,
