Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

The birthday thing is going to zoom by and I'll be OK.

I remember I had a surprise party for XW's 30th. She was mad about something, I forget what, and marched downstairs. I was carrying D12 who was 2.... Wow.

Anyway, she opened the door and her friends said surprise and someone snapped a picture and ... she was mad.

A minute later they took another picture of her smiling.

This weekend was the tough part. I still have not completely gotten over wondering what XW might be doing. I wondered if she was out celebrating. I know I shouldn't care, but I still do.

Her actual birthday? I avoided the school meeting. I'll just get the girls after school, head back to work at 5 p.m. and miss XW and then I have my divorce recovery group and then interview No. 2 with the developer paying me to basically record his autobiography.

It's a full, full day.
