Something just feels off. I don't know what it is... Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just ok with whatever way this turns out. I never thought I'd be here...focusing on me, gaining my own happiness, not needing her so that I can get through my day. I even have been thinking about where I would potentially move if we end up apart. It's interesting for sure, and will be interesting to see how it all turns out. How I come out on the other side. Different for sure...

Weird little comment from the W at dinner. The 5 of us were sitting around the table talking about S11. He'll be an only child for 5 years after D18 leaves this summer and S16 leaves in 2 years. The two older ones commented about what it'll be like with just him. W says, "Screw that, he'll be able to fend for himself...me and daddy will be traveling all over the place." She started laughing...I laughed and just added an inside joke about the piano teacher staying with him the whole time. First time I've heard her talk about the future more than a couple weeks out.
