I never talked about my meeting last week. It went very very well! The state is going to help us reach our goals. I have been focusing a lot of time on my startups and really neglecting my full time job, which is bad. Furthermore, next week my partner and I are going to work out of shared workspace Monday - Friday for the next two months. Another push to see if we can really make it happen. All signs point to yes! I also applied to a local school as a math and/or physics teacher. Another push to get out of the working from home life. I need to be with people.
Tomorrow my D has an end of school show, and later in the day they all fly out on vacation. So last night I spent some money new boxers, undershirt, socks, dress pants, and two dress shirts (I couldn't decide). In the changing room I was hit on by an older woman who said I was going to look really good, then she winked at me. It felt nice. Although, I used to be a size Large and shopping yesterday I was in Medium (and lost 2 inches on my waist). So that was a hit to my ego, but I am in better shape. Anyway... I also will get my D flowers for after her show, and I picked up new swimsuits and headphones for the kids on vacation. So Operation: BE A PERSON ONLY A FOOL WOULD LEAVE is a GO. At the show tomorrow will be X, X's Mom, My Mom and X's Sister (maybe X's Sister's kids). I am planning on being social and focused towards the kids. I will leave the group to take care and/or play with them. Also, I have already conversed with X to take our 2 kids out to lunch before their flight. I will not be going to the airport with them.
As for this AM. She reached out to me, out of necessity. Here is the correspondence.
X: Morning! Can you bring the kids birth certificates to my moms today? Or bring them tomorrow, which ever is easier. Thanks!
Me: Sure. Do you need copies or originals? Because of the show & the upcoming vacation I’d like to take D4 and S2 out to lunch after the show tomorrow. I can drop them off at your place after lunch. Are you okay with this?
X: Of course. We are planning to leave for the airport at 1:00, can you be at my parents by then to drop them? I need the originals.
Me: Yes.
An hour later... I called her and explained I could not find D4's birth certificate, and asked if perhaps she knew why it wasn't where it should be. Did we use it for anything, etc. I never pinned it on her in any way.
An hour later.... Me: The office looks like bomb dropped but I still can't find it. Here is the address to get another printed. LOCAL ADDRESS
X: Okay, thanks for checking!
Me: You are welcome. I wish I had found it, I'm sure you have enough to do.
X: I just talked to SISTER and she had to get one for NEICE this morning. It only took like five minutes, so no worries!
30 minutes later... X: Should I get presents for Katie's teachers for tomorrow, or have her bring them next week for her class? What do you think?
Me: I think next week is totally acceptable.
X: Okay!
Leave it to her for asking for something this important the day before. I think that is fairly symbolic of her new life, as she is an Event Planner, who never plans in her own life. Regardless, she did thank me. I take that as a win, as she hasn't thanked me for anything in many many many months. Small victories.
Me: 32 W: 29 T:8 M: 6 D4 S2 M - 8/2008 W is not happy - 1/2014 W wants D - 9/2014 W moved out - 11/2014 D filed - 1/23/2015 D'ed - 2/25/2015 Gave X the Letter - 11/10/2015
