Got to talk with the boys and briefly chat with the W. My calling schedule is doing well and the boys enjoy it. They really look forward to my calls. I also chatted briefly with the W. She is still guarded but hasn't spewed any venom during the last 3 phone calls. So that's a plus.

I just asked questions about school, family. She in turn asked about my folks. I made a small mistake and opened the conversation by saying "Hi Hon". I quickly corrected myself and rephrased it with "Hi W". I wonder if she noticed...

Well, still no D talk. Who knows what's going to happen next? My W was guarded but nice, so I take that as a victory. I did end the conversation first.

I'm following Michelle's guidance to try to reconnect a friendship. I'm now trying to initiate a couple of calls a week. Testing and observing...See what works, what doesn't.

Well, that's it for now.
