The phone thing still bothers me. She said it cost her $100 to get out of her plan early. This is the same woman who always told me she couldn't talk long on her phone because it wastes her minutes. Of course, that rule didn't apply to her friends when they called.
I rarely call her on her cell. I figure she usually wouldn't answer me. Now all of a sudden she wants to get a shared plan. Of course she wants to include our D at school, so that may explain it.
Last night she talked about the cell phone, talked about getting a new couch (a topic we've discussed before) and talked about getting the dog some professional training. That's new, I had suggested it a long time ago, but she was against putting in the effort, always said the dog was fine.
For you long time readers, you might remember her dog. I watched the little b**ch most of the time we were seperated. It's a pushy dog and usually manages to get it's way. I seriously considered releasing it into the wild, but we managed to reach an understanding where she stayed off of me and the furniture and I let her live. But whenever W is around, the rules go out the window and the dog knows it. I'm not allowed to discipline the dog when W is around. Now she thinks the dog needs to be trained. A small victory.
Her sister called last night and they talked for more than an hour. Not sure the topic, but she asked if I'd mind her sister moving out near us when we move this summer? Her sister is several years older than W and raised W when her Mom got sick. I'm not sure what prompted that conversation, but I figured I'd just say as little as possible and see how it plays out. I'm not even sure W is going to move w/me this summer so I figure it's too early to worry about what her sister might do.
Life at home is strange. For the most part, it almost seems normal as long as I stay within my boundaries: which include just light chitchat, no serious conversations, definitely no touching...or at least not much, and at the end of the day, she goes into the spare bedroom and shuts the door.
