Appreciate your post just_me. I do not call WAW except for 5D. I called about the rash because I wasn't going to have 5D. So, I couldn't deal with it myself.

I spend a ton of time doing great things with 5D. WAW has even said this is something that has made her jealous, angry, and upset. This is not a problem in the least.
When dropping off 5D, I would drive-off as WAW's door opened. After several weeks of that, WAW started doing things different like allow me into her place. Her anger is gone and she is sharing parts of her life with me. Meeting to talk about 5D's school tuition/registration for next year and WAW wanting to swap days because of busy work is not unreasonable. After the meeting, I made a schedule and gave to WAW. Our system is every 4 days. Regardless, schedule is clear now. Actually felt good to give to her. Made me feel like I wasn't a doormat.

This is basically the standard I use to call her. So, I don't. Which makes her voice mail to me this morning so baffling. This is from my WAW, "LBS, ummmmmm, We don't have a belt(school belt) for 5d, don't worry about bringing one this morning, I've written a note, whatever, maybe you can...(blah blah)...Have a Happy Birthday". Just makes no sense at all.
I was actually glad voice mail got it. I really don't want to talk to her right now. She justs does things that confuse me. I don't need that. Just messes up my mind. If she is/will become interested she will be blunt.
Meanwhile, I am GAL. Today is B-day. I am taking 5D to a restraunt then I am going to enroll and participate in dance class. Small steps every day. That's the trick for me. Feel great.
