Spent a couple of hours yesterday afternoon with some old mutual friends. Not a word about my W or our impending D. It is as if all our friends think my W died. Her name is not spoken.

Very weird, but I guess they are being respectful of me. Just hate to make my friends feel awkward.

I hate this whole deal. Suppose we all do.
