Just got home from a great day with my kids. Took care of my baby all morning, picked older kids up from early release. Called some old family friends up to see if they wanted to enjoy one of the last nice afternoons of the season, and they reminded me that they just moved to another town about an hour away, but that we were welcome to come see their new place. It's a couple with two boys my oldest's ages. I figured what the heck and we hauled out there. Their new place is a total palace with a huge backyard and windows and a woodstove, and we made dinner while the kids ran around. Sweet day, they are really positive people who know a slight bit about my sitch, as the woman is friends w W. She said she didn't know much and felt for me, and said she was once a WAW and knows how weird it was. I feel like she knows more but didn't want to indicate that out of sympathy with me but I moped not a bit, just had a good chat with her about how this has made me take new stock of life. We had a great time. I texted W to let her know where we were and that we would be home later, and she responded "Oh wow jealous but happy u guys r there!"
Didn't want to twist the knife too much there, but that's a dose of life going on without her. Back home now and she is on the couch feeling sick so I will put the kids to bed and go out and GAL it up. Feeling good.
