I tried to daydream, but my mind kept wandering

I think you are hitting it right on the head Kat. She has her mom and sister here but they always were a lousy support system. And her two best friends are divas. Really, I always felt sorry for XW because all of the people "closest" to her are no real help at all.

A few weeks ago she even asked me to take a key to the house in case something happened to her because she said at least I'd respond.

The Wednesday situation shaked out even more strangely. She got someone to switch with her so she could leave work at 5 p.m. Then she asked if I'd come to the appointment with her so WE could explain what happened with D8 at horseback riding camp a few weeks ago. She texted that "she didn't mind" if I came.

I'm not up yet for sitting down with this particular doctor. I called her several weeks ago asking for reports on these counseling sessions -- I'm entitled to them -- and she never returned my phone calls.

So that upset me. It feels like she is XW's doctor.

PLUS, her partner was the counselor XW was seeing without my knowing back in 2009. So there are files in that about our failing marriage.

So right now, I want nothing to do with that doctor or that building. Maybe some day in the future, but that day isn't today.

So I texted her, "No. I have to be somewhere by 6 p.m."

Then at 5 p.m. I dropped the girls off at the old house before XW got home and took their friends home.

Now, if things go well I shouldn't HAVE to see her again until August.

Funny, my blood was too thick at the plasma center. They had to shut the machine off and send me home. Now, I'm heading in to do a little work and then clean and then four more days with the girls.
