Thanks for popping in! I appreciate the caution, and I will absolutely heed it. Honestly, I've gotten so good at ignoring "false positives" that if W came in right now and threw herself on me, I'd be like, "Waaaaaaait a minute."
I wonder how many people right NOW are flipping out with Facebook being down? Probably so many people are realizing they have kids, books, dirty laundry to do!
So, the weirdness just continues on...
I went to S6's basketball practice. W takes him, and I just come up to watch him - I really enjoy it. So, I sort of didn't know what to do. I have been VERY dark for a month, and I haven't decided on continuing or not.
I walked in, and just waved at S6, and noticed W was sitting by herself up in their bleachers. I went up and sat by her, and had some dorky thing to say to sort of "break the ice." I got up there, and she was having some heated conversation on her phone.
So, I sort of sat down and felt like a dork - remember the last time this happened, I sat at the other end, and actually the last time we really "saw" each other was when I walked out with the kids two weeks before.
So, she talked for about 5 more minutes, then hung up at about quarter after. She then took a deep breath, and pretty much talked without stopping for the next 45 minutes! I figure I probably said a total of 5 sentences. She just went on and on about her work, and school, and all that.
I sort of sat there, stunned. She acted like we had been best buddies for a long time. So, at the end, I got up to leave, and was talking to D8, and W asked what I was doing. I said I had to go work in a town a ways away. She said, "Hah! We are going to Chipotles!" I just said, "Yum." So I hugged kids, and left - didn't look back.
So I was driving, and on a whim, I texted W, and pretended to tell her what I wanted on my burrito. She texted me back, "Really? You coming?"
I texted back that I couldn't because I needed to get working - figured I'd be up til midnight as it was. She asked me if I had eaten anything for dinner.
So, she didn't say anything for awhile, and then she texted me, "How far away are you?"
I said I was too far - 20 minutes, and I was just kidding around. She didn't say anything back, but I was stunned.
She was going to BRING me Chipotle. I don't think she's offered to do anything like that in 4-5 months probably - at LEAST before Thanksgiving.
What a weird, weird day. Don't get worried, I'm not reading anything into this yet, except veeeeeery odd.
