Day 8: Rhythm


Day 8: 08-01-2012

Today is my ex wife's birthday. I would have forgotten but facebook reminded me. I didn’t wish her a happy birthday, I actually just don’t care. Well, that's not true, I hope it is good for her... but it doesn't matter to my life anymore.

Been writing most of the day. Walked and ran 5.5 miles around the ranch which was great. Making huge progress on my story. My sister has been bugging me every few seconds, and everyone continually asks for my help with mundane tasks. Fixing a Tv, a VCR, helping open a bottle or a can… It’s like they know I am focused and working, but want to find reasons for their lives to pivot on my existence. Kind of irritated and looking forward to when everyone is gone.

Pretty tired tonight too, going to write as much as I can before sleep gets me.

The girl should have got her cake today… hopefully she liked it. She didn’t call though…

Scratch that. At 9:30pm I got a message that she wanted to talk. It would take her about 20 minutes to get home from where she was. She was buying her favorite ice cream and lit a candle for her birthday and I and her kids sang happy birthday to her. So she got to have her wish. J

I am happy that she liked her cake and her ice cream. Got to talk with the kids a bit and the girl and I talked for 50 minutes. 30 yesterday… we really get talking for a long time when we do. We did the whole, “Lost in each others eyes” thing again too… I told her I loved her and I missed her, it got a smile but she didn’t say it back… and she also said that she felt bad that I am so kind to her after she broke my heart… I don’t like that kind of talk. I like moving forward, not discussing the past.

What will happen? I have no idea at all.
