So I had my first DB phone coaching session today and it definitely gave me some direction and a plan even though we seem to be approaching the 11th hour here. I mainly want to be sure I've done everything I can, and with her not here and there being no communication, I want to be prepared IF an opportunity presents itself.

Otherwise, went to the gym after the coaching session. Great way to shed a lot of the stress for me.

I have to confess, it's hard coming home at night to an empty house when I've lived for so long with noise and activity. It was bad enough when both kids were gone and it was just W and I...but then after a while we came to appreciate the extra free time and freedom.

Pulling into the driveway at night my heart always sinks a little seeing it empty when I'm so used to seeing her car in her spot. But it's getting better. The lows aren't quite as low.

Main thing I'm doing right now is preparing my Last Resort letter. Got some guys coming to help work on the house tomorrow, then have IC on Weds.

Gonna get up tomorrow, greet the sun in the morning on the front porch with my coffee, and say hi to the squirrels and birds once again.
