Ripken - LRT with a WW and divorce filed #3

[Ripken8]

Update: the move went great. The day of the move ww was off and seemed pretty sad. She was almost overly nice and accommodating. She gave me different things around the house she thought I would need and went to the store to buy Tupperware because she knew I wouldn't remember them and have tons of food I couldn't save. As I left I looked her in the eyes and told her to take care of herself. She looked like she was going to cry and told me to do the same.

After that spent the weekend with the boys getting settled, setting up things and with friends from out of town. Had a blast with the kids and friends yesterday doing barbecue and outdoor games.

I dropped the kids off at the house this morning so today is my first day alone in the new place. I'm keeping busy by doing a 1 1/2 hour long workout, some laundry and chores around the place. I may go shopping and return some items and if it stays nice, relax by the pool. Was hoping to meet up with some friends later, but if not I'll prob stay home and watch a movie.

Trying to get used to this change and be ok with the constant feelings coming and going. Ww texted me about something I forgot out the house, but it's not important, so I won't respond. Going to be hard to interact with her as she'll be dropping boys off at 530 or so in the morning and never coming up. She may even pick them up on her days to minimize that. We'll have to see where this goes, but I can use help on how to maximize the limited interactions we will have. Suggestions are definitely appreciated.
