Journaling... rather uneventful day. Stopped in on a staff meeting of some of my staff today. They all about fell out of their chairs that I just randomly stopped in to listen. Made me realize how "on the bench" I've been. But coming out of that.
Went right from work to GAL/board meeting. Enjoying that experience... our board is fairly unsophisticated when it comes to strategic thinking and mindset, but we're making progress!
W sent me some random texts today with funny stories about S. Not sure where that's coming from. In each case I let it sit for about an hour before I just replied with some one word answer.
Got home and saw W took down all the family photos that had W and I in them. That stung a bit, but only for a bit. Oddly she left one up that has her and her bridesmaids on the top and me and my groomsmen on the bottom. I'm not reading anything into it... but the analytic side of my brain wonders what the heck the rationale is behind that...
W's friend's daughter was over when I got home because her parents had locked her out of her house. They were all in the back room playing the Wii so I hung out with SS away from them. I think the kids are starting to process more... SD asked me when does she need to start packing her things I told her not to worry... we'd give her plenty of notice and that mom and I would help her when the time came. SS has been working on painting this wooden statue that he got for Christmas. He tells me tonight, "I'm not sure where I should keep it..." I was confused and he tells me, "I mean here or at the new house..." I told him he's worked hard on it and should take it to the new house so he can see it every day. But I realize that sounds awfully dismissive, so in the morning I'm going to tell him he can keep wherever he wants. I'd be honored to have it here, but it's up to him.
