Not much conversation today. Polite small talk. Neither of us mentioned anything about the M.
She made dinner yesterday (first time in weeks), so I started making dinner today. She got home in the middle of it, and jumped in and started helping (also the first time in weeks, if not months). She even made a wisecrack about my cooking.
Son wanted to go to a local fair. It was late, and unfortunately it's not something I would normally do on a work night (meaning I usually would have told him let's wait till the weekend). But today I said 'ok, let's go'. W said 'it may rain'. I said 'we'll risk it. You're welcome to come if you want.' She declined, saying she was tired, so son and I went and had a blast (at least until I rode some dumb ride that almost made me hurl).
A little small talk when we got home, and then i went downstairs to watch a show (not kid friendly).
That's the 4th time in the last 2 weeks that I went somewhere during the week without her (3 times with son, and once by myself). That's a big 180 for me, but I wonder if it's having a negative (or any) effect on what she's thinking. Like if she thinks I don't want to be around her, don't want her involved in me and sons plans, etc. I know, I know, it doesn't matter! lol.
