The Long and Winding Road...

[bhopeful]

Thanks for the rant Jenny! It made me smile. I know exactly how you feel.

Ingrid, Thanks for thinking that I handled it well. I was just flying by the seat of my pants. I thought for sure that she was going to tell me that she wanted a D over IM. That would have sucked...

I do think that I handled it differently this morning than I would have in the past. I used to try and make excuses and reason my way out of things like this. I was tempted to again today, but I realized that it would completely invalidate her feelings. I don't want to disrespect her or her feelings so my only option left was to validate what she was saying and admit that I made a mistake and I was wrong.

Lunch was really good. When I got there she had already ordered and bought my lunch for me. That was a huge surprise. We didn't talk much at first, but we were both really hungry and were stuffing our faces. When we did get around to talking, there was no R talk. Nothing was said about last night or this morning. I wanted to apologize again, but I didn't want to bring it up again either. I think that I made a good choice with not bringing it up. After lunch we walked out to our cars together and she gave me a hug. I had brought a couple things of hers that she had asked for and along with them I gave her a cool incense burner that I had made for her a couple days ago. She really liked it and gave me a kiss!

We parted ways just after that as I was late for getting back to work. I think that lunch was good though. Maybe last night didn't set me back as far as I had feared. I'm still going to take it slow though.

Peace,
B
