Well, I decided not to respond to either the text or e-mail. Both can wait.
It is weird, and I know her first assumption will be that I am mad at her and refusing her communication. So perhaps I will respond in a few days and say that I had a great time and it was a wonderful experience. Is that a bad thing to say? Is it a jab? What if its true?
In the meantime, getting out of town early tomorrow and doing the family thing in a big way. Loaded up the iPod with a lot of tunes and I'm actually going to bring clean clothes with me this time(!) Really looking forward to it and at the same time, a little sad that W isn't going to share this experience. Too bad.
Applied for a job today - that is a huge 180 for me. H3ll, its a huge life change. I don't think I've ever applied for a job since I met my W (I've worked, just not in a 'wage earning' way.. mainly independent contracting). I'm still a little on the fence about this whole 'real job' thing, but this gig pays ok and I realized they actually offer benefits. That would be nice - at least until I can decide what I might want to do with my life - maybe it would cover some of my therapy visits.
Anyways - gotta pack. I'll check in sometime this weekend, I'm sure.
