Separate and Filed walking on

[paul19510]

Journal: I was out with S12 and his friends tonight. It was a good night. We enjoyed watching the kids play and ride Karts. D13 went with W at 11 this morning and she didn't know what her plans were. W didn't indicate any plans for the remainder of the day but D13 didn't know if and when she'd be back. I asked for clarity from D13 and got none. I contacted W after 7 hours to clarify D13's plans for the day and night. she told me D13 went to her mom's for the night. I called to discuss this and ask her to coordinate these visits and the timing directly with me. I relayed to her that D13 had not really explained her plans. W made a lot of assumptions. she assumed D13 gave me all the plans which was not correct. I asked that W be my contact regarding the kids. this time she seemed to get it...we shall see.

today was our 17th anniversary. After the call with W I texted her to thank her for the chat about D13. I told her I remembered what the day was. I wished her peace. she texted a polite "thanks" in response.

I knew that W was sleeping at our barn around the corner tonight due to our horse expecting a foal any day now. I started to go over with hot chocolate, but as I got there, I paused at the curb, reminded myself that this is not a person who wants to see me and left before I was seen. This was the better thing to do. I just had a moment of weakness about our anniversary.

Some days this Walk is harder than others.
