Hey, thanks for asking, Msm....W got back from beach vacation with D. She stayed with a recently married work friend and several other couples/families.
It was a generally good time for her to relax and bond with D (something which was much needed for both), but she didn't get to watch tv or shop as much as she would have liked (guys were watching football and she had almost no extra $$$)
Since she has been back, so far, she has been more approachable than normal. She went to ride bikes with D today (something they did a lot of at the beach) but D's bike had mechanical issues, so I came to the rescue.
While there I had to take over bc D was having a lot of trepidation about using her own bike (she had borrowed some bike at the beach which would not tip over). The salient issue here is that W had limited patience for dealing with this. I don't know if it would have been better off to just step back and let her handle it, but I could see D was not going to have a good time if someone did not take a more patient approach.
Ended up driving them both back to her place bc W's blood sugar crashed (isn't that something you can plan for....like take a little snack or something? This has happened countless times, but she is never prepared).
On a positive note, I told her I would like to get together with her sometime to talk, and she seemed open to it.
She also waved and caught my eye when I left, which is not normal.
I chalk it up to her having been around married couples for a week and seeing how they interact, possibly missing me or married life, possibly thinking about our last vacation, which went quite well, possibly thinking about the fact she was unable to shop....
The goodwill will likely wear off....
