Today I'm just feeling detached. The ambivalence is continuing. Yeah, I have the sporadic pang of anxiety, but it comes and goes pretty quickly.
My W did come to pick up my S tonight. She was already at my house when I got home from work. At first, she really didn't seem to be in the best mood - she just seemed kind of down. I asked her a lot of question about her job and her move and she lightened up. Maybe the Christmas lights outside and the tree inside were getting to her a little bit. I managed to be pretty upbeat and positive when asking her about her move and new job. It turns out she's now not going to move until January.
She also picked up a Christmas tree while she was here. I brought it up from the basement for her and helped her get it into her car. We talked about Christmas gifts for my S. It was cold outside and she invited me to sit in the car while my S went in the house to get something. She had the radio tuned to a Christian station.
Since I have what looks like a busy weekend coming up with my S, I decided to try a long bike ride tonight. It was 33 degrees and dark when I started. It's rained here for the last couple of days. There was some residual water in a park I ride in as part of my neighborhood route. I decided to get my loops in the park out of the on the first pass of my route, because I knew the temperature would be dropping and the water draining off the soccer fields could possibly freeze. Guess what? I was right. On the fourth lap around the park, I slid and darn near ended my biking season immediately. Almost a hard lesson. Yikes!
