Feel like I'm living the movie Groundhog Day...

Just a quick update before getting into Turkey Day mode...

Proud of myself for yesterday's DBing... may have been my best day yet. W isn't happy about it, but her discomfort is her problem. Resisted asking her about being blocked from her FB updates. That was accomplishment #1.

Then made plans with a new group I haven't been with before to meet for drinks last night. W had to work until later so I texted her to say I was going out when she got home. She got home and I left. She was very grumpy about it. Didn't tell her where I was going or what I was doing. Didn't get home until 1am (though paying for that now!).

Before I left my S tells my W that we're going to my MIL's house today. W says she isn't sure because she hasn't talked to her mom about it yet and needs to call her. I tell my W that it's already taken care of. I talked to MIL, made arrangements, and took care of it. That's a huge 180... I've always left family interactions entirely up to my W.

On the way to meet folks W texts me about Black Friday shopping. We have always gone shopping, not together per se, but cooperatively. She hits one store while I hit the other. I draft the plan (and it's always been a PLAN, complete with maps and spreadsheets :)) with her input. Since she's not really talking to me right now and makes it clear that she doesn't like me talking to her I made a plan that excluded her. I don't really want to rely on her right now anyway.

So after a few texts I called her because texting was getting old. I simply told her that I made a plan that didn't include her because she made it clear she wants to do her own thing. So go do your own thing and I will do mine. I don't really care. Frankly it's less stressful for me to not rely on her since she's so flighty right now.

She was grumpy about that... hell she's grumpy about everything right now, so whatever.

Then hung out with some new friends all night and had a great time. Had some drinks but stayed sober. A lady there was hitting on me pretty hard all night and at one point asked me to take her home. Glad I stayed sober Politely turned her down since that's not going to help my life right now and I'm not THAT guy. But it was certainly a nice ego boost.

Now I just have to figure out how to make it through the MIL's house, my mom's house, and Black Friday shopping on five hours of sleep. Going to be a looong, but good, day!
