What to do next

[JustStunned]

Journaling: I have not posted in a week so this will be long and disjointed, sorry if it is difficult to read. I lurked on the board yesterday and for a little while tonight. I am trying to get to a better place emotionally before contributing to a discussion. I am making slow progress forgiving W and myself for this drama.

So Saturday I took the dog for a walk in the park and checked out a boarding facility for him. I have to travel for business next month and I’ll need to board him for several days when family cannot watch him. The staff at the facility was pleasant and it is clean. We have a trial half day during the first week in May.

Sunday I went to the Venture Scout fund raiser and ate breakfast with my niece and one of the SILs. They both gave me hugs and the convo was pleasant even though it was a little stinted. I made a point of speaking with my niece afterward asking her to try and let go of her anger with W over this sitch. She has been more of a daughter than a niece.

Tuesday, W sent me a text informing me she would drop off boxes and tape to pack what she was taking out of the house. I told her I was busy that night and would not meet her at the house. Tuesday night is when I shoot in the archery league. During leagues I began to ruminate about this sitch and lost concentration in the middle of the last game. I caught myself and managed to finish well, but not before losing 10 points to this drama. I need to compartmentalize better.

Wednesday, one of the realtors got back to me with her market analysis numbers. It doesn’t look like we are under water but we’re not far from it. She suggested I share pictures of the house and its condition with the Ls as W’s L wanted the house listed at the end of the month and that is not realistic. She also recommended I get a second opinion. I have contacted another realtor to meet with next week.

Tonight our daughter and I had dinner out together. She posted the news on her FB and said it was nice to catch up with Dad.

Later, W called my cell and I answered asking what I could do for her? She wanted me to know she has almost gotten all of her records and credit cards statements together for the disillusionment. She was upbeat and happy on the phone. I maintained a business like demeanor. She wanted me to know she might be late coming over for the inventory and packing of the household goods. I suggested we cancel it as this is the Easter holiday weekend and we both have plans. Her tone indicated surprise when she heard I had plans for Easter. I did not rise and tell her what my plans are. I reminded her we were to inventory and establish dispositions for the household goods not inventory and move them. She is in such a rush to run away. She has so little to accomplish and is running her program on her time. I don’t think she realizes her CPU is overclocked and will burn up if she doesn’t slow down.
