Thanks for the compliment, Jo.

S6 and I had a fun time this pm. We got our hair cut. I've noticed that the longer my hair gets, the grayer it looks. I'm tempted to dye it. If Brad can turn a different shade every week, what about me?? Splurged on a shampoo/scalp massage cause the woman doing my hair was hot. Okay - about how much lower will this D sink me? Now I'm paying to have a woman touch me??? Anyway, S6 and I left looking sharp.

After going to the library, we went to my place,played, colored, and made some very early Halloween cookies (his idea) after supper.

At dropoff, XW and I were talking about a few things, and she looked relaxed while doing so. Then S6 came over to us and said, "Mom, do you have your keys? Cause I locked the car." Yep, it was locked tight and still running, and when I offered to drive her to the house (RO and all) to get the 2nd pair, XW noted that that key set also was in the car. I stayed relaxed, cause this was her problem now. I offered to watch S6 while she went to call AAA, which she did. While she waited, I walked S6 over to the grocery store, let him use the restroom, and we bought XW a water, as she had just finished running, and looked tired and thirsty. Instead of giving the water to S6 to hand to her, I did so, and she said thank you. We watched the AAA guy work to get into the car, and XW and I noted how I made a metal contraption in 5 min to unlock the same car 3 yrs ago when she locked it with then 3yo S6 inside. She looked at me differently when I pointed out to the guy that he'd have to get in from the top of the window, which he did after failing for 20 min to open in with several sets of tools from different areas.

As we left, XW thanked me for waiting with her. She laughed about a few S6 circus stories I shared. She noted that she decided to not attend the peace rally, and that she was hoping to move this weekend, meaning I might be into the house next week!!!!!

Odd, but I don't feel crushed, overly sad about her moving. Maybe it will hit later when I'm there.

Going for a long run tonight.
