So this is the email that I have drafted to send to my W. All of what I say is factual in that I have a lot of things on my plate with my job and I do have vacation planned (suppose to be with my W to celebrate her RN and passing orientation) the following week.
I will put my lawyer on hold for now and investigate the benefits of a mediator then get back to you later this week if possible. However, I have a lot of meetings and presentations next week that I am preparing for and the following week I am going on vacation.
