Thanks for the check-in, Val! Hope you're doing well, too!
I got a reply from my W about the possibility of dropping the rabbit off on Thursday instead:
Friday is fine, provided that it is closer to 7:00 instead of 8:00. See you then.
Gee, how did I know? I should have bet money on it.
On a more serious note, today is the six-month anniversary of the start of my sitch. I had no idea this thing was going to stretch on as long as it has. I'm still very confused in some ways -- while I still love who my W once was and want to hang in there to see if that side of her comes back, I don't know if she can be the partner for me. I need someone stable and self-sufficient, and....she's not.
I still don't think this is over, though, not by a long shot. Her power games and attempts to keep me in line indicate, in a very weird way, that she still feels connected to me and acts out of fear rather than true malice. We will see where she ends up.
On a positive note, I donated blood tonight. I'm very happy about it -- for some reason, my sitch has caused me to become a lot more charitable.
