I time it perfectly--walk in with 2 gal pals and my "beard" guy (whom I do actually like and hope to have a fling with) just as the meeting is getting started. No where to sit but right behind X! who is sitting by himself. One seat over is J, a friend of X's from planning commission. Probably a guy thing not to sit directly next to each other.
But I heard from a friend that J said X was a "slimeball" just recently, so not like J has reconciled his feelings towards X.
Thanks to anti anxiety meds, knitting, and making little jokes with K, I was perfectly cool thru out meeting. Even braved hanging around a little bit to have dessert and chat.
K walked me home, sat and chatted--really easy fun convo for about 1 1/2 hours.
So, to ponder--if it were my "business" which it is not--why X not bring gf to town meeting??? what a great chance to introduce her to everyone? Again, remember that is not my business.
So--it was, as usual, much less anxiety-filled than I had anticipated--but I still haven't met my goal of facing down the two of them together. I still have to cross that bridge eventually.
