Episode 7 - Moving, Gathering & Swapping!

Day of Events: February 17, 2024

An entire day of gathering my things from around the house to help respectfully create more definition between each person's space; an exhausting task but also incredibly rewarding, too!

On this day, I was primarily focused on getting all the stuff I had stored in the spare room (and there was a lot of it!) out of it so that my future ex could have his own personal space.

Note: a lot of these things were baby keepsakes, tax returns, excess work supplies sometimes used at home, family paperwork, family pictures, printers,  etc- the stuff no one wants to be in charge of or have to deal with but someone's got to do it, right?

I'm surprised I didn't note itin here.
Basically, he immediately leftfor for a few days, and I don't
blame him.
He had to get out of the houseand reset mentally and hindsight
tells me that he was probablypulling some oh shit stuff and
really having to cover his buttbecause, but I don't know

(03:15):
that's, Me just using what Iknow about him to draw those
conclusions.
Anyway, he left for a few days.
Uh, my daughter cleaned her roomand her closet per me.
I told her to.
She's a little feverish anddefinitely stopped up and snotty
nose.

What I can tell you is it didn'tstay that way.
