Had a stupid text snafu happen to me on Friday! Why this crap happens I don't know but it gets comical after awhile.
So, UPS guy shows up at work and tells me these packages need a signature. I oblige and as I'm grabbing the boxes, notice they are addressed to W at her new apartment address. Small town deal where UPS guy knows us and knew I was at the office to sign for them.
I text W that I signed for 2 packages for her and let her know that I think she can pre-sign for packages on the UPS app in the future. She texts me back and was questioning why they needed signatures because they were from amazon and that if he drops any more packages off for her to just tell him to call her cell. That she expects packages to be delivered to the address and that she doesn't expect anyone else to sign for and hold her packages.
In the meantime, I got a text from a friend asking how I was and what's been going on in my life. So I update them about W moving out eventually and tell them about this package ordeal since it had just taken place.
AND I send that message to W instead of friend. It said "She was pleasant about it at least and told me to just have the delivery man call her phone if he needs to deliver something and she doesn't expect anyone to hold packages for her. So I said will do."
Now her response is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of WW mentality. She texts me, "Who is that you're texting such petty things about me?"
I respond, "I didn't think calling you pleasant was petty but I'm sorry you feel that way."
So then she goes on about how she meant petty as in the topic, not an insult. She said the fact that I feel the need to relay something so insignificant to someone else, ya da ya da ya da. At the end of that text she writes, "Do you have any desire to head out of town tonight/tomorrow or go do something during the day on Saturday so I can spend time with the kids? I miss them like crazy and I’m not sure we can endure another weekend at home together with you the way things have been going. Definitely not telling you what to do, just asking if you’re interested."
CLASSIC rewriting of history right there as well! 'We can't endure another weekend together at home'...funny because after last weekend when we had the discussion where I told her I wanted her moved out as soon as possible, she still wanted to invite me to go out of town for the day with the kids to see Santa. And nothing has literally happened since then!
I just responded that "if i make plans, I'll give you a heads up. If I'm there, I'll be scarce. Trust me."
So, I got out of the house a bit on Saturday and tried to keep busy around the yard, etc. most of the day. We all went to mass together Saturday night. I didn't really want to go with her, but I wouldn't be able to attend Sunday morning since we were needing to get ready for D5's (now 6!) birthday party. Party went good. W didn't go out of her way to interact with me. I did need to run to the store to get some stuff so I asked her if she needed anything else for the party and gave me a list. I thought since it was for D b-day party, I would ask if there was anything else that was needed. Plus I'm trying to act 'as if'. I've been pretty upbeat and happy around her all weekend. To be honest, haven't really been all that depressed or sad when I'm along in the MBR either. I think I'm slowly becoming detached and have moved on to accepting what's probably going to happen.
Still haven't heard a word from her on what she wants me to do with the D papers. I asked her for her thoughts and feelings about them last tuesday and not a word as been spoken to me. Thinking I'll just continue to 'do nothing.'
