Allowed myself to sleep in today - and I feel good! This feels very different than my typical sleep-deprived state.
Showed up for work in a t-shirt, jeans, and sandles and was ambling up to the elevator, when a pretty coed walked by. She smiled & nodded, so did I, and then a cold draft blew down the hallway.
It was XW, racing to teach. She likely had seen me smiling at the coed, and had a angry almost hurt look on her face. She passed within 3 ft, and refused to acknowledge my presence. XW looked pretty, but not very approachable. I was tempted to shout out "Hey there!", but found myself wondering about the source of her upset (continued feelings?) rather immediately. It was obvious that I was just arriving at work, as I had my gym bag and work stuff with me.
While talking to S6 last night, XW was on the other phone, and was laughing up a storm in a dramatic fashion. S6 has this habit of following her with his phone - almost to demonstrate that he's having a blast w/someone on the phone too. Poor little guy mentioned 3x how he'd rather live with me than her. Once I'm back in the house, I'm going to bring up a more even distribution of residence for him. I think he's ready. And I think she's ready for more freedom, etc... too.
Starting this Oct, XW will be officially living on just her salary. Should be interesting. On my part, I'm scrambling to set up more side business, as a few pieces of contract work have dried up, and I'm dependent on the income to meet my obligations.
