Busy week all around. Wednesday a long work project, a 2-mile walk late afternoon, and a community event in the evening.
Thursday I got some work done in the morning then spent 3 hours in the park with my D2 on a beautiful day. She was covered in dirt and happy as could be. A great day. When W came home D2 and I were hanging out in the backyard with the neighbors who live behind us. They have a daughter the same age as ours. She seemed unhappy I was socializing with the neighbors. Oh well.
Friday I had multiple meetings with people about possible work opportunities and finished a project for a community group I help. I was feeling efficient, productive. etc.
W came in from work about 4:30, was falling asleep on the couch as I made dinner and entertained D2. W was supposed to go out with New BFF on Friday night, and kept saying she was tired and didn't want to go out. So don't go out. Then New BFF texted her that SHE was tired and wasn't going out. W was palpably relieved. It's like she's afraid to tell this woman no.
Saturday I took D2 to the playground in the morning. At noon I met up with my friends for a photo shoot nearby. W took D2 for a drive so she'd nap. W texted me that they'd gone to her parents' house so I could do whatever I wanted. It was a perfect day and I did a hike along the river for about two hours.
Later went to the restaurant where W, D2, and W's family were supposed to meet me for the dinner for my upcoming birthday. A little awkward, although W's family seems not to know there are serious problems. I arrived first. SIL, her boyfriend, and his son (SIL's BF has about 25 years on her and his son's in high school), then MIL and FIL with my D2. W, who apparently just dropped D2 with her parents and went out, showed up late and spent the dinner talking about the tattoos she plans to get. SIL had brought a cake to the restaurant, and they made the staff sing to me. It was fun. Went home in separate cars and I spent the rest of the evening with my friends next door.
Sunday I spent the morning with D2 and had a packed day after that. Went to an event honoring a friend for contributions to the community, then another annual event, then a silent film festival with a friend. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton with a live piano accompanying. Great stuff.
Little interaction with W and I find I don't much care. She's not a person I recognize or particularly like at the moment.
