Yep, it does seem like W would prefer for S5 to be broken-hearted and acting rotten in her absence, making life tough for me, but he's actually been a sweetheart. He and I have very compatable temperaments, and I read him better than she does in some ways, so he's doing just fine.
UD, I've been thinking about your comment of me getting away for a bit on my own, leaving W to her own devices with S5, as this would be an even clearer taste of post-D life. I may just do that. Perhaps to s/t work-related or to find a place to hole up in to get some solid writing done out of town.
Thanks for the offer regarding truck work, Lost. I may have to give you a ring the next time it acts up.
A hectic couple of days here as I wrap up my courses and do laundry/pack for our trip. Looking forward to gettin outta here for a bit.
