M1, Spartan, cat04:

You're all right. I've been thinking for a while on this and went to see IC yesterday (even though I was dreading seeing a new one and having to re-tell my story). She said to let it go about the 3-day weekend and chock it up as a "I screwed-up" and move on and think about what could I do next. Well, my D's B-day(turning 3)is next Wed and I was thinking it would be cool to show up as a surprise. Although I remember W talking about delaying her party until I show 1st week of May.

Currently, I haven't been able to talk to W so I have no way of making these plans at the moment because I don't know what her schedule is. I called last night and there was no answer. It's frustrating and S and I still haven't been able to skype for the 1st time yet. This is why I'm believing now that going up there asap (as everyone has pointed out) is perhaps a good idea. I'm getting nowhere at this moment with phone conversations or texts. If W was serious about having D's B-day later, then I can be there for the party and help W with moving. But she mentioned that the move was in the timespan of the 1st 2 weeks of May. I need to know. Arrggh!

OK, done venting.

Thanks for thinking about my sitch everyone. I appreciate it.

Spartan, yes being debt-free will benefit us M'd or Div'd. Although at this point I've thought about it and at least I have 3/4 of an emergency fund saved vs. none. So I've moved the last allocation to the fund (which will complete it 15 Apr), so that it can support a last minute plane ticket. You are right about lifting W up. I need to pursue that. As I've said above, I need to know her B-day and moving plans. I don't know how she expects help from me by keeping me in the dark. Sigh!

cat04, yup! I do need to live in the now.

So all, how many days max should I stay on visits? A max of 5? I was thinking I could pull off a surprise visit for D's B-day for 5 days then come back for the move for another 5 perhaps. I'm just thinking out loud here.
