Little interaction with W.

First Thursday of the month I have a regular meeting. This month it was pushed back a week and W waited half a second before texting New BFF and heading out the door.

Friday I attended, with a friend, a free play at a middle school by a community theater group. A lot of my local friends had cameos and one was in the main cast, so I went to offer support but it turned out to be a really excellent performance. Very pleasant surprise.

I had a super-busy Saturday. I took D2 to a park (sans wife, who was sleeping off all her partying) then attended the funeral of a man I'd gotten to know in town who died suddenly. He was nearly 72 but was full of energy and appeared the picture of health. It was a shock and a reminder that life's too short for a lot of this BS. The service was packed and was beautiful. A couple of hours later I attended a very different event, the 50th anniversary party of a couple we know. It also was packed with many people I know and a very nice time. More on that later.

Sunday errands, a long hike, and I completed my first-ever painting, which I've worked on in drips and drabs since November.

Monday W did her usual dance class with New BFF, Tuesday I had D2 home all day and the weather was glorious. We went to the playground for 2 hours before lunch and she had a long nap. This kid needs to run and play. Thank God for decent weather at last. Tues eve I went with friends to a live music session at a beloved local bar that was closing its doors that very night.

Basically W and I are like two ships that pass for a couple of hours in the late afternoon.
