  Yay Fri-...Oh wait, I work this weekend.    Honestly though, the weekends aren't bad since I work from home. 
  
  So yes, working tomorrow.  Then we're probably going to do laundry and watch football.  I probably need to start setting aside clothes and stuff for our ski trip.  I'm probably going to pack one pair of jeans and one nice shirt for our dinner out.  Other than that, it's going to be fleece lined leggings, thermals, and hoodies to go under my ski gear. 
  
  The kiddo is going to FIL's for the weekend.  DH has to pick him up at some point on Sunday. 
  
  DefConn has been begging to go out to dinner all week.  He wants to go to BW3's, since they give him a tablet with games.  I'm trying to convince him that we should go to a local brewhouse/restaurant instead (that has way better food).

  I love the random criteria kids have for what constitutes a good restaurant.  There was this Chinese place we went to -once- near our old house--the food was mediocre, but they had a big aquarium.  For years afterward, Wooz would beg to go back.  I'm like "Let's get takeout from the way-better place, and we can eat it in front of your aquarium." 
  
  Don't even get me started on the seafood place with the cat hanging around the entrance.  Never returned, still asks about the cat.

  Ugh.  I think my phone may have just died for good.  The display faded to black, with some random lines/boxes, and now it's sitting there dark occasionally making a little beep or bloop.
  
  ---As I was typing that, it randomly dialed my office number.  My office phone rang, and the caller ID said it was my cell.  Which was sitting on my desk, looking dead as a door nail.  Agh.---
  
  I really, really wanted it to last until the 7 came out this fall.  I don't see that happening.  Also, I am really not in the mood to buy a new phone.  At all.

  I think your phone may have done some FB posting on your behalf as it's final death knell, @heffalump.

  This weekend I work on the divorce paperwork.  Turn it in on Monday and hopefully get this stuff started and finished quickly.  Things are not going well and I just want all connections severed as quickly as possible.
  
  I forsee a lot of wine.

  It's okay, really.  I'm coming to realize a lot of things and this is still absolutely the right decision.  Unfortunately, there are things being posted about me on social media that are outright lies.  While I don't feel the need to really defend myself or to start playing that same game, it is starting to wear on me personally.  We still have quite a few mutual FB friends and the questions are starting to flow.  I'm really ready for it to be over.

  Thanks, mrs.conn.  I hadn't even been on FB since it died, good to know.  I do like that there were a bunch of crying emojis, because between swim and the phone and MLK falling through and now this low tire pressure warning on the car, I want a good cry.  Which is dumb, because no one is sick or injured or anything, it's just stuff.  But I don't want to deal, I don't want to be the adult, I want to all magically fix itself.
  
  Also, I would not eat at that restaurant it had me checked in at, not even if I lost a bet.  Not cool, Dying Phone.

  That is some major bullshit.

  I find my desire to cry and give up on life/adulting the most happens in those circumstances.  The real tragedies/emergencies don't bring that out in me.  
  
  And LMAO at your phone checking you in at a terrible restaurant.  It's like the final 'fuck you'.

  God, social media has really changed the landscape for some people regarding the end of a relationship...and that has turned them into bigger assholes than they could be before.  I'm sorry you're dealing with that V.  Fuck that motherfucker.

  I received a message from a mutual friend that just said, "It's not going unnoticed that only one of the two of you are trying to air dirty laundry on Facebook."  Which I appreciated getting, it did help unfurl the stress in my chest a bit.  
  
  I logically realize he's telling himself the story he needs to in order to deal with this.  Stop doing it on FB, please.  Or at least clean up your friends list.  I have quite a few friends who are pissed over it, which means I have to talk them down.  My entire goal was to keep people from having to choose sides in this (after 15 years together, your social groups are the same); his behavior is causing it to happen.  And not in his favor.  *shrug* The good thing is that his behavior?  NOT.  MY. PROBLEM.  ANYMORE.

  1) Yes!  Wooz fell and broke her arm, cool as a cucumber.  Knocked out a tooth, no worries, everything will be okay.  Crashed her bike into a fence and said her wrist was broken (only sprained, luckily), no biggie: got the kids in the car, called DH on the way and told him to skip the house (he was on his way home) and go straight to the ER, had the presence of mind to grab snacks for DS since it was now dinnertime.  But the phone is dying and we missed one swim class?
  
  
  
  2) It's getting worse: it called DH at work (and then gave him a bunch of random beeps, "like a drunk R2-D2").  At one point, I heard Siri (out of nowhere) say "I'm not sure what you said."  It's starting to go all H.A.L. on me.

  I'm seeing The Danish Girl, today.
  If we're FB friends, check out my post from last night. Not too thrilled with Wolveriene's school right now. Just thankful she's not blind.
