Odd Day.

I was still down this morning but did my best to be upbeat.


I made an appt to look at an apartment earlier this weke. It's a stones throw from my house.

Today was the day to go see it. My W wanted to come with me Honestly it was difficult.
I picked her up at 11 o'cock and we drove the the apt building, it is old mills that have been converted. Mostly silent drive to the place, but some small talk.

We meet the rental agent and the guy starts talking. he ask about time frame, my W says sooner would be better.

She he gives us a mid July to mid August time frame for openings.

Then my W said "We aren't in any rush, we could wait until a 1 bedroom opens up." she kept up this idea of not needing to hurry.

She also asks about lease options for less than a yer. She was please when they had a 6-month option

We see a number of apts in the building. all decent. I take an app and we leave. My wife comments on the 6-month options saying we should start with that because that's probably all we will need.. My W asks if I want to have lunch. We do. we talk about the apt. she really loves the location because it's so close. She talks bout how the kids will like the pool and like the apt. the apts were nice and I could see myself living there, but...

After lunch, I take her back to her office She says, "this really s*cks."
I said, "But if it helps us get to a better marriage, it will be worth it.
she agrees.

I then say I have a lot of faith it will workout between us.
she pauses for long time, then says i do do because of us. We then talk about all the difficult times we've gone through together and how we managed them successfully.

I drop her off.

I'm not naive enough to say this changes anything. I think it makes it more real for both of us and it looks like I will have until August 1 at the earliest.

time to make the summer fun. No use moping these months we have now.
