U always make something that would bother the fuck out most, appear not so bad, I don't know if its your sarcastic self... but it makes a chaotic, anxious situation appear as if one could abide in it.
Tension sucks, I once had a situation where I lived with an S O, and there was so much tension, I would actually spend the whole night in coffee shops, and only come home to sleep, and this was after we had split up, but she had to wait to find another place, so I know exactly what U mean.
You have your daughter and I can only imagine how much joy that brings...
Well, nothing cuts through tension than Gym and yardwork...
