No more denial, time to get to work

[MRay]

An uneventful day today. W is still sick. I'm taking the kids to my parents for Easter tomorrow while W plans to go to her parents. It's just going to be the three of them, so that's kind of a sad Easter. I offered to bring the kids by in the afternoon, but she said no. W and kids are going on vacation next week out of town for 3 nights with her mom. She asked about my plans while they were gone since I'd be living the "bachelor life." I told her I'd be going out with friends one night and maybe catch a movie another. I made a joke along the lines of already living the bachelor life and her response was in a sad tone, "Well I mean without me dragging you down all the time." I'm not really sure what to make of that, and I don't think it really matters. I think I'm getting better at not hanging off of every word and having no expectations.
