Interesting first day without S. He breakfasted with W this morning for 20mins. She expected me to go as well but I stayed at home making up some sandwiches. After he left I cleared W's books and folders, putting them into storage. She rang while I was doing that but I didn't answer. I went for a walk and drink in the town centre. W's sister and friends bumped into me by accident. We ended up chatting and having a drink. All said how good I looked etc. arranged to meet up over the weekend. Texted workmates and said I had nothing to do. Some of them texted back to arrange a day out tomorrow. W rang again so I rang her back. She wanted to swap cars for a long distance trip to see her parents for the first time since the split. I explained I hadn't answered before because I Had been packing away her stuff.She was amazed to hear I'd been out for a drink by myself,"not like you"! She wanted to know where I was going tomorrow. Kept it all vague and cut the conversation short when she started asking me how I was etc. How am I doing? I know things won't change but felt more in control for once.
