More complicated than I imagined...

[Michael Mc C]

Thanks H! It seemed to work out. Just before dinner I hopped on and started the scan. While we ate, she was still visibly upset. One can only wonder why. I wasn't rude, I didn't deny her anything. I imagine it is because she had to ask since I was seemingly unconcerned.

Shortly after dinner, after I had been in my upbeat mood for awhile (drywall always makes me happy - it's the spackle that pisses me off!!), she started lightening up.

So I did it without expectation. Without a pat on the back. Without acknowledgement of the conflict of interest I was facing.

I hope that this episode stirs something up inside of her. Maybe she'll start wondering why my interactions with her have changed instead of thinking I'm just being a jerk.

She should know better, I can be one hell of a jerk!!!
