Year 3: The Long and Winding Road

[whatisis]

OK, now for something completely different. I've been having thoughts about a woman lately (yes, it's true, God forbid!) but I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I've known this woman for about 20 years because I work with her mother a couple of days a week! She's about 12 years younger than me, unmarried and her only child is her mother. Her mom is kindly and would do anything for anyone in need but she's also a bit on the far side and tends to drive other people there with her. Now, her daughter and I have always got along well and, although we don't socialize, whenever we meet we have a nice chat and I really enjoy talking with her. I've run into her a few times recently. She's also pretty darn hot too! Yesterday she called me because she didn't know where her mother was and mom had made some strange remarks the previous day about life not being worth living. Anyway, we talked for about half an hour (her mom turned out to be at the mall, as I told her she'd probably be). She was talking to me like an old friend who was having problems with her mom. We talked about her ex-boyfriend and how mom had always hated him and daughter said "I wasn't even that crazy about him myself". Part of me would like to ask her out for dinner, the daughter not the mom , but I'm not sure how we see each other, does she see me as a man or as a friend or as my STBX's husband still? On the other hand, who really cares it would just be nice to have female companionship once in a while. I also wonder if I'm ready for even that? Who needs the male female b.s., I've got enough on my plate as is. I'm still battling Adrenal Fatigue and although no one would really know it, I'm damn tired and anxious at times. Oh, and I also have to deal with her mom at work...scary thought. I also wonder how far the apple falls from the tree, if you get my drift. Is she as nutty as her mom? I married nutty, no thanks. On the bright side, she said she would never introduce another guy to her mom and that's a definite plus. Hey, she's also a Christian. So anyway, that's my little confession. I dunno whether I will or not but at least there's an option...in my mind anyway! Btw, who says I overthink things!
