W called me yesterday morning and I said How are you as I always do. She replied "Oh, I'm ok" in a down voice. I've been thinking of trying to draw her out when she sounds down for a while now and I took the opportunity and said "What's Wrong?" She told me that she was having a bad day because she "lost the kids ride" that morning (I guess OW didn't want to drive them) and she had to get her mother up to take them. I found out later in the day that OW was sick. However, W sounding down as she did couldn't explain away by OW not taking the kids because she was sick. I think there is more to it than that but I'm not going to speculate.
Anyway, the reason I think I did good was because after she told me why she was down I talked to her and within a minute I had her happy and laughing. She hung up happy and in a better mood. She then ended up calling me 2 other times that day and was very smiley when I dropped off the kids.
