The weekend with D2 was fun. I spent the majority of it at my mum’s place. D2 is getting more and more interactive and is classic to be around and play with.

The handover on Sunday evening was tough for me. I try really hard to act “as if” and keep it light and cheerful. I think I did an alright job at this, but I do find it very hard and probably could have been better. I know I’m doing it for a good purpose (to help WAW feel safe/build trust) and to not be fake or in denial. But it feels fake and there seems so little for us to work with when these infrequent ‘conversations’ continue to be superficial. The lunch I arranged a few weeks ago was easier for me as D2 didn’t leave and it was during the day etc. I will think about doing another one of those, but after sufficient time has passed.

Back to focus on me this week. Go to the gym, keep busy at work. I turn 36 next week. I’m in a better place than a year ago.

Here’s to a good week ahead.
