~J~ I did my thing this morning with D3. Told 00 text if you need too; if I dont reply asap I'm busy and the reception isn't great. Not sure what 00 did while he was home alone. I have nothing to hide. While I was doing my thing, I got a concerned text from a friend of 00s. The usual text: havent heard from hom, been trying for months. I did not reply. And sent it to 00.

In the afternoon, I let 00 know what we were doing. While we were running errands at a store, we ran into 00. He was visable uncomfortable being in public; overwhelmed. Lots of people & the potential to run into those that know you. D3 wanted to be with him of course. Glad he didnt ignore us or try and hide. He acted mostly normal with us, but went on his own to finish shopping. We ran into eachother again & he put his one item in the cart & we all went to checkout. He went on his way, D3 wanted to be with him, said he'd see us at home.

He got home shortly after us. We had already had lunch. 00 made his and ate alone. D3 & I headed outside. Eventually 00 joined us & played with D3. It was so normal! I wanted to do yard work; 00 took D3 to a park until dark.. It was great to have a few hours to myself. A little GAL time. Nothing exciting, but I did what I wanted and enjoyed it.

00 text me they were on there way back. D3 was fast asleep & dirty. He brought her in and I took over. At one point he says, in a snarky tone, "what are you two eating? Wheres the food?" I know how to feed my kid. She eats a health version of what I eat. All food groups. And she's 3! She can be fussy! As long as she eats something! NEVER question my parenting. I get SO worked up and defensive. But, I remain calm & answer calmly.

After eats D3 & 00 played. He actually put his phone down which was nice. When he started checking his phone more, I looked to see his activity. He announces he going out to get wine. Usually we have some but had none. As he left, I could hear him outside; the window was open a crack. I kept checking to see if he was online and sure enough, right away. The timing is important here. I shouldn't care. It's obviouly the right time to contact the ow. Bedtime here, morning there. Sadly, I know the time there. Of course I know! Anyway, I can see 00 on & offline a bit while he's gone. Why should I care? Why am I looking! Silly really. It's not a secret anymore.

00 gets back, D3 is in bed. Him & I chatted a bit. Current events in my life, the good stuff. I said how nice it was have time for myself, for D3 to hangout with him & the best part was having her back cause I missed her. This was my way of saying enjoy her hete, cause she's not going to another state with you. PLUS, with this Covid-19 everywhere, I want her here. And how about those travel bans! I'll start a new post for that!

Feeling good at the moment. No more R talk since he got home, in either direction. He's got 2 more "things" to do while here. I know both. One I want him to take care of, as I need to be part of it. The other is on hold, as we agreed.
