So we just returned from picking up S9 from camp. Glad he's back. We are going to grill some burgers and dogs for him, and W made a special cake for him.
Trip was pleasant enough. On the way up, W says she needs to get her care serviced (our mechanic is very close to my office). W said she may have to take her car to someplace closer to her office since she could not take it to our old mechanic, then get to work on time. Yeah, I know, she's asking in a round a bout way for me to do it. Old me would have said, oh, I will take care of that. New me said well, I am happy to take it, but that's your call. No respons eon that one. And I don't care.
So later, she calls one of her former bosses (who lives in another state) to discuss her current job prob's. During the conversation, W is talking about a day when her mother went to work with W and W tried introducing her mother to W's boss. During this part, W tells her old boss who she called that "You know, my mom came up and you know how you introduce your family to your co-workers." No one's asked me. Am I not family? Ok then. No sweat.
We show up at the camp, and one of the kids in my S's cabin is one of S's buddies. This kid's mom I suspect is one of my W's advisors who is telling W D is a good thing and it is not so bad for the kids. All crap. This lady went through a D with children and is about to be re-married. Anyway, there is a lunch for everyone, and we end up sitting at the table just next to this woman. She does not acknowledge my presence - has her back turned to me the entire time (at which time she is talking to me W). When this woman gets up, makes no effort to speak at all. Ok, no problem, I rellay don't like you very much anyway.
So, on the way home, I am thinking whether I should even mention this to W and if so, how without sounding like I'm complaining. When we get home, I have decided to tell her. I ask W in passing whether I did something to make XXX mad? W says "No, why?" "Well, b/c she didn't even look at me." W says no, XXX has never said anything bad about you. I said, well, it's no big deal to me, I don't care, just made an observation. W says well maybe it was just the way XXX was sitting.
Anyway, I am still in a pretty good mood. I am glad I mentioned what I still think was pretty rude by XXX. I was calm when I said it and mentioned it more as a note I made rather than being offended.
Still seem stuck - and I'm just going to have to trust Coach on this one that we are not stuck. Just feels that way. But, even if we are stuck, for now, it's better than W backing away. Wish I had a crystal ball (don't we all) to see what event (if it happens) will give rise to W wanting to work on the M. Oh yeah, and I would like to know when that's coming. That's all.
