W's birthday turned out to be a better day than I thought. I have always enjoyed celebrating her bday, so I was feeling kind of blue at the thought of not being with her and sharing what as always turned out to be a special day.
When she came to pick up the kids she told me that I was welcome to come to dinner to celebrate her bday. Of course I accepted...we went out for dinner, had some laughs and just generally had a good time. I had already been planning to watch a movie and just relax, so after dinner, she joined us at home to watch the movie...turned out to be a nice evening.
I managed to get through most of the evening on an even keel, just sort of detached I guess...whatever it was, I had a nice time. I fell apart after she left; the end of the movie had a message that was very touching, and hit just a bit too close to home, but I held it off until W was gone...I hope I did good:)
