Ah so tonight - got home, W had made chili and was making cookies. I guess she'd had a trying day, was doing OK though. But she said "It's really good to see you." So I gave her a brief hug. Not a needy clinging hug, just a "glad to see you too" hug.
She's visiting a friend this weekend who has just given birth, and is planning on taking the rest of the chili with her. When I said (jokingly) I wanted her to leave it - my chili - she said, "well, you do come first..."
Also said she was grateful for what I was doing with the kids - I took them for a walk tonight.
Had some teasing too. She said that she only had that brown whole wheat flour for cookies so they didn't look right, I said, "yeah they don't smell right." She gave me that "I can't believe you said that" look and we laughed.
And other stuff like that.
I still don't understand what's going on in her head.
On the up side, I'm feeling progresively better. Had good PMA tonight. I don't feel horrible.
