Thank you mvgfwd2 for your response and ideas. Did a 180 this evening...W has "caught on" now that I am going out once a week on Wednesdays. I am a person that would hapilly have a pattern or plan ahead of time so changed the day of the week with my friend and am headed out this evening instead of tomorrow evening. Why? Frankly, I have to keep her guessing just a little bit because old me would have just kept going out on Wednesday. Also, I need to learn to not get in such a rut so it reminds me to start doing things different times or in different order etc. just to mix stuff up.
Loving the evenings I am having with D6 even more lately as I find myself a little more relaxed at home lately. Also starting to imagine spring coming around and making a bunch of fun garden and adventure plans in my head as D6 adores being outside with dad and I adore being outside so getting excited for a month or so from now when things start warming up sometimes. The "as if" is almost starting to sink in and I feel myself watching W leave and I don't even cringe or have that eyebrow scowl I try to hide, I just smile and tell her to have a great evening like I could care less whether she is leaving or not.
She is going to do what she is going to do...my job is to improve me for me...
