Journaling:

Gave the W a text and told her I was leaving work early, gonna pick up D4 and do something with her so W could get schoolwork done. She called me about 30 mins later but "missed the call". Then she texted immediately after call saying D4 was not home. I called her back a few mins later and she said D was with the neighbor (they have a daughter about the same age). She said she was gonna take advantage and go to the coffee shop, or somewhere to study. I said ok, I can get some stuff done around the house then.

When I arrived home, about 45 mins later, W was still home. She was upstairs in the MBR. I stayed downstairs and kinda piddled around. She came downstairs and started chatting up. I stood and listened intensely at what she had to say. We cut up a little, kinds talking like friends, which was nice. She told me her schedule and what time she would be home and what she had going on(I didn't even ask). She mentioned dinner, and I said not to worry a bit, that I was running to the store to PU a couple things to make pot roast. She also "kinda complemented" me on the chicken Alfredo Pasta I made last night. She started to walk out and said see ya later, and I repeated.

After she left, she called to remind me about a letter I had to pick up from the Post Office. I was actually walking out when she called, to get the letter and go to the store. I told her I wS heading down and she said (jokingly), "oh, so your following me" i chuckled and said I guess so, and thanked her for reminding me. Then I ended the conversation by saying "see ya later"
