Not Sure Where This Is Going

[Niall11]

Mostly separate weekend. W still sleeping in living room.

Yesterday she took D2 over to her parents' place (5 mins away) and stayed out until about 8 pm. There was an event near the coast I could have gone to, but I was running late so I chose to skip it and just went for a drive in the same area and a short hike by myself. It was a nice day after a long winter and being near the water always makes me feel a little better. A pinch when I passed the church where we were married almost 8 years ago. Things were so different then.

Today W got up and did some tidying up around the house. With a 2-year-old this needs to be done constantly and I do plenty of it. W has this way of being annoyed when she's doing it, as if all the burden's on her. It always makes me tense. W took D2 out to a petting zoo or something with her parents. I went to an event where most of the people I know around here were going to be. Had a long talk about football with an older guy I've known casually for a few years and it was nice to feel like a normal person for a while.

W called an hour ago and asked if I was home. She wanted to drop D2 off for a nap and run to the supermarket. We have been speaking a bit more civilly about D2 and mundane things like what groceries we need. Getting more resigned to whatever is coming. The ball is largely in her court. I have my own things to work on.
