Hi geordie,

Thank you for checking up on me. I have been looking at your sitch and have not seen any updates and was wondering about you too.

You are right, the woman doesn't matter in the bigger scheme of things. I should have asked myself before making the call to H to ask "Will this bring me closer to H?" That would have prevented all the arguments.

I feel better today.

Last night after the argument we (his family and me) had dinner as usual. H asked if I wanted to eat dinner. I answered Yes. No other exchanges for the rest of the night. I went to work right after dinner.

Got off of work at 5am. Drove to clinical site for psych rotation orientation. Got there at about 5:30am. Tried to take a nap prior to 7:30am start of orientation.

That gave me some much needed time away from H. Was reminded of him when we went around introducing ourselves to the class. Of course I didn't mention whether I was married or not. Wished I could say I was.

Got off of orientation at 12:30pm. Got home at 1pm. Called H on way home to ask him to take the kids to library and fund raiser. I had promised the kids prior to obtaining my new school schedule. H agreed. Played with DD. Went to sleep about 1:30pm. Woke up at 5pm.

Took a shower and H was back with the kids. H asked if I had enough sleep. I answered yes. Only one other exchange before we had dinner and I went to work. H told me about Mikayla's walker and how he was going to fix one of the wheels and such.

I am trying to keep our interactions short and the times we see each other less. It will give him the space he needs and allow me focus on my schoolwork.

It is his sister's bday tomorrow and the whole family will be going to dinner. I am not sure if I should attend. It may be best if I don't. Should I let H know I had requested a few hours off to join them and if he was not comfortable I attend, I would just go to work as originally scheduled.
