Update-i've been away for a few days. needed a break from here. i hope everyone is doing better. Things have been better with W. Mother's day was good. Went to brunch with Ws family and it we had a good time. W called later to ask if i wanted to go to dinner with her and her Mom, but i declined because i had to take down the TVs for the painters(not sure if Mom wanted me to go to dinner or W, but it doesn't matter). We split our finances last week and i opened up my own checking account. I also took our S2 to Legoland with his cousin and Uncle, and I shared a few pictures with W when i dropped S2 off with her for dinner. W has been nicer and she has initiated conversation with me. W told me about her day yesterday and even asked about my day. We our currently getting the inside of our house painted and carpet replaced this week, in order to sell it. Since the kitchen cannot be used, W asked if we could just go out to eat, which i agreed, but we just ended up picking up food and taking it back. I have continued to stay clear of W while at home. I stay in the other room and I will spend time with S2 by taking him on walks, to the park, and to play at his cousin's. Over the past 3 days, W has been more talkative with me. I have been reaching some of my short term goals lately:

1. go out with brother and cousin
2. workout 2-3 week
3. cook and do my own laundry
4. spend more time with S2 (i have always been the one to do more with S2, as W doesnt like to go outside, but i want to get as much time with him before we go 50/50)
5. W ask me about my day
6. W tells me about her day
7. W ask me to go out to dinner
8. w ask about how i am doing
9. join a social group (haven't done yet)
10. meditate
11. go grocery shopping
Overall, things have been good. i do wake up daily thinking about my sitch, but everyday it seems to be less and less time that i think about it. btw, W has had D papers for a while and she has stated that she is filling it out, but that was two weeks ago. Is he stalling or is she unsure?? I know i still have a long way to go, but looking back at where i started, i feel like i have made progress. I have read and reread so many posts from Sandi2, Cadet, Wonka, and 25.
