Newcomer, want to keep my hope alive!

W called me on my cell on my way home from work. I did not pick it up, she left no voice mail, but when I got home I asked if she had been looking for me. She said she had, she had been at a dog sled show with D8, and was hoping I could have stopped by and brought a couple of dollars for a book that my D8 wanted, but W said she didn't have any money on her. She ran to the bank instead, after I did not pick up the phone, and ran back to buy the book.

Also, I handed the W her cell phone bill tonight, and told her I had decided I was not paying it anymore. She looked at it, grunted, turned around and walked downstairs.

Then, I tucked my D8 in bed, and went downstairs, and brought up an email my W had sent me about a cirque de soliel show she was interested in taking d8 too. I told her that looked like something our d would like, and I'd like to take her. Then said she was welcome to come as well if she wanted, she has agreed, and we will be going August 29th it appears.

I swear during the conversation she almost seemed her old self, no anger, walls in the way, etc, and we were very cordial during the discussion.

However, I wanted to end it at that, as I have bills to pay tonight, so I just came upstairs to do that, and probably will try not to interact with her again tonight.
