Well...all moved out with most of my sanity still intact. Many boxes to unpack now but saving most of that for the weekends as I am back at work now. It was hard to leave my home but I am keeping my eye on the future. XH is already making lots of changes. He wants to mount his tv on the fireplace so punched a hole in it in search of tv wires we both swear we were told were in there when we bought the house. We were both surprised to find out that none were to be found. He texted me this afternoon that our son has a wicked sense of humour as he made some comment about the hole in the fireplace that cracked XH up. It is nice that he sometimes texts me random things like that. We are developing a friendly coparenting relationship that I think bodes well for our kids. I told him that I hope he finds the life he wants living in that home and I meant it. OW could certainly use some better luck, that is for sure, as she’s been through the medical wringer.
Had a slight hiccup in our communications today when he texted me to ask if they had inherited the Christmas tree as well. This tree is HUGE. Literally comes in five pieces (two of which we have never used) and stands over 20 feet tall when it is put together. We bought it for $100 from Rona (big Xmas sale) and it took two trips in our Honda Element to get it home. I loved that tree but really did not have room for it so I left it in storage at the home. Anyway, I took the text as a complaint so I told him that just because he took his clothes and his garage items when he left didn’t mean that he got to leave everything else we had collected over 12 years for me to deal with and that I had already dealt with more than my share. I expected him to get upset with me in return but what I got back was... no....wrong message...I am happy about it, I was just double checking. He later followed up with “we are both grateful for everything left behind.” I told him that was a good example of why I don’t like texting and to include an emoji when the text is ambiguous like that.
Anyway...time to sleep. Lots of work piled up while I was away on my “vacation”...lol. Oh... almost forgot...there was only one new CV19 case in my area from Monday to Tuesday and 18 over the weekend which is a three-day total. We are down to less than 100 active cases for a population of just under a million. 60% of us have had at least one vaccine. Get your vaccines people. They are working!!!
