It's been 3 1/2 weeks without hearing a peep from W. Nada. Today I'm working from home. So I'm doing some laundry while I'm working. No big deal. Unannounced, W shows up on her bike to drop off a piece of paperwork. I just happened to be walking out the door when I saw her pull up. She apologizes for not calling me in advance. She's "on her way to work" ... which is in the opposite direction. She knows I work from home today and knows I'll be here. Since she's a teacher, she is off for the summer. Apparently she picked up a class in town. So ... fine, whatever, I tell her the paperwork is already taken care of, which looks like stuns her a little. I'm upbeat and have other things to do, and I head back in the house. She's off to teach her class.
I'm not sure why, just yet, but this exchange bugs me.
