W and I had another text exchange where I tried to encourage her to talk some more about her feelings (it is on the last page of the most recent thread).
The only problem was I used the phrase "I'm sorry" b/c I didn't know another way to put things and still be affirming of her feelings. Tomato had a great suggestion of saying "I regret..." instead of "I'm sorry" and that may carry more weight in the future. I'm going to at least give it a shot b/c I also am not fond of "I'm sorry" as, like Tomato, I feel it is overused and often insincere.
D called me yesterday to let me know what she was doing at lunch and then she wanted me to talk w/ W. I told W the painters were coming over on Thursday to paint the house and that I'd picked up paint. She responded w/ "I thought I told you to wait until paint was on sale for the 4th?" Oh, well. I also told her the shower head broke off in the master bathroom and I needed to replace it. She just said "I'm at lunch w/ a friend" and handed the phone back to D. At least I didn't let it rattle me. I just said, "Oh, well. That's W being W" talked w/ D some more and then hung up.
Then I called at my usual time last night, but got the voice mail, so I left D a message. About an hour later, D called me and said "I just wanted to tell you goodnight b/c you didn't call me earlier." I told D to have W play my message for her b/c I did call earlier. D believed me and was no longer upset, but it was nice of W to play my message - or even check for one for that matter - for D, wasn't it.
Oh, well. Just more of Crazy being Crazy.
Today I'm talking w/ my DB coach in a bit and then I'm off to a golf lesson - I'm working on starting my downswing w/ my hips 1st, which is a major change, but one that will help my game immensely.
After that, I'll run some errands, then head home to get ready for my deposition today. I've decided to take a few seconds before answering each and every question to make sure I'm collected and ready. I'm not worried about today, but I am curious as to what they'll try and ask me.
