O'dog's Act II

[orangedog]

Went to social event. WomanFriend was there but neither of us made it thru the crowd to talk with one another. About a week ago she called and begged for something (O'dog does internet consulting) and we had a brief email exchange. A day or two later I wrote a few paragraphs about my life but I never heard anything back. Whatever.

I've never figured out what happened but here are my guesses:

1. Maybe she got too close or opened up too much then became afraid. Unfounded. O'dog never had any intentions beyond friendship. In fact I shared a lot about my sitch and dbing so she could get her own M back on track - and she did.

2. Maybe I whine too much.

3. She wanted to do a biz trade services-to-services however I insisted on full or mostly cash. O'dog needs the cash in his new life. The deal fell thru and I didn't hear from her much after that. Hmmm...

I know...It's all mindreading and worthless speculation. I miss her friendship (a few years) but I can't beat myself up for some imaginary reason. The dog is still here.

Afterwards I stopped by the she's house to pick up some things and take care of some kid matters. There was a ladder outside...hmmmm...She described to me in depth how she spent the afternoon outside at 10F trying to put up lights but those stupid little plastic things that were supposed to make the job so easy, didn't. Sadly there wasn't a single light on the house. I didn't even think she knew what a ladder was but good for her for trying.

I mentioned something about my xmas travel dates and she said the travel for "that other thing I was planning" (wink wink kids present) wasn't going to happen. Non-event. O'dog knows it will happen someday.
