Aw, poor you. ((hugs))
I'm wondering why you stayed home lonely with your dog when you had no kid duty. Isn't there anything fun to do around there?

If you feel like your day is pathetic, that is a choice you're making. For me, a day with my dog and no interruptions would be sheer heaven. But you should be doing what you want to do, especially when W has the kids. Force yourself if you have to.
