What's New? This is new.

~j~ Yesterday was relatively normal, even in the midst of this pandemic lockdown. D3 and I spent most of the day inside. Zero TV! Normally we don't let her watch a lot. Sometimes as parents you hand over the contols & surrender. But yesterday we did so much more.

00 was out in the garage early, and told me he'd be in there, which was nice, as D3 is always looking for him. I get he needs alone time too. D3 did try to see him. Doors locked, no reply when she called & knocked. He did reply via text (from the garage) he needed time to himself..please. It was a good 3-4 hours before he resurfaced. I get needing time alone without D3. I rarely get it, but understand.

00 shared news that his dad has self quarantined because he was near a positive infected person, while out in the community. No orders to do this, but FIL is doing it as a precaution. Thank goodness he works from home so he can still work.

The rest of the day included video chats D3 wanted with family. MIL & others that where there. 00 popped in & chatted a bit too. At one point he made the statement, "I cancelled my flight ...and will be here until I go to work." (Yikes! That could be 2 weeks or several weeks!) It is what it is. It really is.

In the evening we all hung out. It's good for D3 to see us normal. I have to repeat in my head "roommate roommate roommate." Even though we've aleady signed paperwork, the D still feels unreal. Maybe because there were no real battles? We resolved & agreed on a lot of things. We are all living in unreal times.

I slept last! It's been days. Detaching more & enjoying the normal moments for D3.

Detching & letting go of my love for my former spouse. We are both free to move on. It's SO critical that I GAL even if we're in lockdown. Make the best of YOUR situation at hand.

Be safe & wash your hands
