W came to my new place for the first time today. Actually, that is the first time she has been at this place or the old house since she moved out. She did come to the old house to pick up some stuff just before I moved but she made no effort to go inside.
When W came she asked me "Where is the cat, I was hopping to see her" I told her that the cat wasn't here. Which she wasn't.
So now it seems she is missing the cat. This is a step in the right direction considering when she left, she wanted to give the cat away even though D6 totally loves the cat.
Knowing that she was coming today, I worked my butt off cleaning and tidying. It is my goal for her to want to come and live here at some point so I wanted the place to make a good first impression. Not that I'm a slob, Far from it actually, I just wanted that little extra so I made sure nothing was out of place and made sure the kitchen and bathrooms sparkled.
Anyway, I think I got the reaction I wanted. She came in and looked around and said "You have a really nice place here" in an unprovoked, honest kind of way. Also, while I was talking to her I noticed her intently surveying the place and she made comments about several of my pictures. She also made a comment about how quiet the building was. I'm pleased with the way it went.
