X never responded to my last text. I took kids to her house at the time I said I would. She and OMH drove up while I was unloading vehicle. I continued unload but then OMH, who had ignored me completely (at X's instruction according to her) at our last encounter belted out a gregarious, "Hi, Sleeper!". I reciprocated genuinely and resisted temptation to comment.
X was really not herself. She had a pained look on her face the entire time and hardly spoke. I unloaded some personal things X had left in the house I now own. She did ask if a particular painting was included, called kids over to her and drew my attention to it as well.
As I left I told OMH, "See you later, (his name)". He reciprocated.
That part was kinda sad.
The bright spot was the kids on the way there, finishing my sentence when I tried to tell them how important they are to me.
They get it.
It was a good day.
