Thanks, rop. Sounds like you had a little boost after that conversation. The little things that can give us pleasure. You are right on the "curious" part. Unfortunately, I have to be careful, or she'll turn around and try to have me guessing. I hate that.
Yesterday, S14 called from school saying that WW had not sent a fax allowing him to ride a different bus to go to a friends house. He tried calling her, but no answer. She has to turn off her ringer at work. I sent the fax and texted her that I sent the fax. She called me about 1 hour later saying she had totally forgotten because it gotten really busy at work. Short staffed. I asked how things were going and we talked about a client she had opened an account for. Older man, young girl. She felt bad because she had asked if her was her dad, but they were actually dating. We laughed a bit. It felt good to talk to her.
Got home and got the girls ready to go to grandmas to spend the night. No school today. I got ready because I wanted to go out. I had asked WW in the morning if she wanted to do something with me but didn't really get a response. I was not going to re-ask her. When she finally got home (at the time I figured. She must not have met him after work)she was acting tired. I told her a co worker had invited us to go to another fiesta event. She told me to go ahead and go. I said ok. I usually would have questioned or asked if she was sure she didn't want to go. When I left, the girls were fighting with each other. I'm sure you could see frustration on my face and I was trying to get out of the house. WW told me to have a good time and had a look on her face. Hard to explain what it was. Like, have a good time but I pray you don't do something you shuld't. Probably the look I usually give her. Felt good, actually. Had her thinking now. After we left, I had the girls call WW to apologize for fighting. WW asked to talk to me and sounded like she wanted to say something. Almost reluctantly, she again told me to have a good time and be safe. I said ok and I will see you later.
Didn't want to get tangled in traffic downtown, so I called the girl that has been calling me and I asked if anybody was doing anything. She said she and another friend of ours were going to get together at a local fancy Mexican food restraunt and I should meet them. Had a few beers and bought them margaritas. We had a good time and laughed about stuff. When she talks she always grabs my arm. Feels good. We left and I started home a little earlier than I wanted to. Girl calls me back to thank me for the drinks. We talk a while about stuff going on in her life. She is about to become a grandmother. At 37. I couldn't imagine.
I'm not sure if she is pursuing me or just being a friend. I am not going to try anything. Sometimes I think I should. It does feel great to talk to someone who is interested in wanting to talk to you. Or to want to have lunch with you. The little touches feel really good. But I know what I want. I want my wife. I hate the detachment from her, but I know it is necessary.
When I got home, WW had cleaned up the house again, rearranged D6 and D11 room completly, cleaned kitchen, and made some fajitas for dinner. She was still working in the girls room. She asked if I was hungry, and I told her I had a few snacks. I didn't. I noticed the food was still out. For me? She would have put everything away before. Not leave the food out. I put the food away and she asked how the event was. I told her I didn't go because of traffic. I could tell she was waiting for me to elaborate and she wanted to ask. She didn't ask and I didn't tell. I helped her do a few things aroung the house and hung a mirror in the girls room. Told her I was going to bed as I had to get up early. She told me she would follow and told me goodnight.
I got up extra early for an early day at work. I tried to wake up WW when I left. She couldn't get up. I asked her if she wanted me to wake her in 15 minutes and she said yes. I left and called her back. Good morning sunshine. She says good morning. Wakey, wakey, eggs and baky. We talk a bit. Nice sleepy conversation. I am upbeat and tell her to have a wonderful day. You too, she says. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
