Separated from WAW

[dlt1]

A friend of mine was selling her house and we let her use our spare bed to 'stage' one of her empty bedrooms. She sold the place so today I went by and picked up the bed and a TV I bought from her. She's already moved to TX, so it was just me and another friend to help me with teh stuff. I had e-mailed W Friday to let her know that we'd be by. And that I will be over earlier then expected thsi afternoon to stay the night (she's going out of town fo rthe night). No response to my e-mail. I did include something about being happy she likes the C.
So I call her around noon to say we'll be stopping by to get some gloves and blanket, she was wroking at home (1st time ever, not sure if that is significant right now). Very short but pleasant convo.
We arrive and I pop in to let her know it's just us in the garage. Dogs of course are thrilled to see me. we laugh at Angel (2.5 yr old lab/pyr) together. Our running joke is to call Angel an idiot. While I'm trying to open the back door to let her out, W says "she's an idiot." It felt nice to hear that. I told her we'd be back in awhile.
We get back and move the bed upstairs. I just set the TV in the garage b/c 1. it's large and heavy. 2. I don't want to make it an all day ordeal. 3. If things don;t work out, it'll be easier to move again.
I grabbed some cash from my saivings jar (deadline today to secure my fantasy football spot)! My friend goes in and says hellp to W. I think she was surprised b/c expects to be viewed as the bad guy. I join them and we talk about moving the tv briefly. Then, I ask her if she got my e-mail. She said yes. (OK why can't she just respond to it so I know??) Didn't say that though, just asked if that was OK. She said yes. I asked if she knew when she was going (I'd like to go to the house early, but will not unless she is gone, gotta give her space). She wasn't sure, hadn't talked to her friend and said she was not going to get all her work done today. So I said I'd be back around 4 then. We left.
W seemed relaxed when talking this time. Don't know if it is b/c my friend put her at ease or just the time apart to think or what. Whatever the reason, makes me feel like we will be able to talk a bit more freely again soon. We have plans to get together for a bit tomorrow. I mentioned in my e-mail walking to nearby sports bar to catch the Brickyard. She's big NASCAR fan. We'r ein Indy, so the blackout applies, but I think the bars will have it. Anyway, during fball season we go up there a lot to watch the games. I am interested in this race b/c my fantasy draft position is based on order finish. ( I have Truex, so root for him. She's a huge Stewart fan). Who knows if she will agree to that or not. The part I'm ineterested in is that I said walk up there. She has complained that I never go for walks with her. Now that I have been riding my bike a bit, I feel the energy coming back and the distance to walk is about what I'd be comfortable starting. We'll see how that goes over.
Also, I'm living at a friend's house. He is working on the other side of the planet, but has a female roommate who takes care of teh place. Not my 1st choice just b/c she is female, but we've known each other for years, she has long term R and I don't think W views it as bad (just as long as I'm not at home right lol). But, at dinner last Sunday, I mentioned she was 'walking' me, old joke about her and owner when he was still in country. We went on one painful walk after a bike ride. Well, that was dumb, W said "You would never go on a walk with me and now your taking walks with xyz! It's like your doing things now that I always wanted you too." oops, I felt like banging my head on a rock. I back pedaled slightly and said it was after a bike ride and I was sticking to teh bike while over there. Then I shut up, no chance to incur more damage. So, that's why the walking aspect for tomorrow is important.
Gotta get cleaned up b4 I head home. Will check in later.
