Good to hear from you. EE was a psychological root canal, an emotional sweat lodge, and so wonderful and good and right and I was hoarse for two days after. I now understand why being on team must be wonderful too -.
Flavor: W comes home last night, calls hello to D, says nothing to me, and goes upstairs.
Dinner, which I had made, was a feta, walnut, and beet salad, along with hard bread. W complained that this was light fare, that she was hungrier than this. I felt angry, but said nothing and instead offered to get something more fattening, and anyway there was pie and ice cream for dessert. Not sure I reacted correctly on this, but perhaps this is trifling? In retrospect, I should have said "get yourself something more filling, then".
At dinner W avoided interaction with, and looking at, me, but I pointedly engaged her in conversation and she was forced to share a bit. How negative she can be, with a glass half empty, criticizing the dance teacher again, one of her slacker students (who will (correctly) fail English as a result), and an overweight neighbor. Not sure being near this negativity is good.
On contract so far -
