I use this site as my journal. So here's some journaling.
I realize that my W has submitted her applications to university. She didn't make a big announcement or a big deal to me, but the deadline has passed and she is no longer working on the applications. When she was working on her essay, I had offered to review it for her. I work in a university so I know what they are looking for and how to write a persuasive essay. She never took me up on my offer. The one time I did see her essay, I thought it could use a lot of improvement. I still think she has a better than average chance of being accepted. My W is smart and talented and has the right background. Even if her essay wasn't the best, she had very good recommendation letters from previous employers who really appreciated her work and professionalism. We'll see what happens.
Yesterday evening just as our girls were going to bed, my W went out shopping for make-up that we seemed to have left at our retreat last weekend. She was gone about twice as long as she needed to be, and then I realized she probably went to the rock gym climbing first. I guess things aren't that bad if this is the only type of secret/lie that she keeps from me.
Meanwhile, I have a backlog of work that will keep me busy for til the end of the year!
