Not dating! Chilling with friends

Well first, during the day on Saturday, S and I met up with the single moms group. Only the leader showed, but she wasn't as chilly as the last time I met her! Her son is 6 weeks younger than S so we might be able to establish a friendship between them

We had a good time at the museum and the boys didn't play together much (except in the water table) but they each had a great time. S got knocked down by a 6 year old and the big kid didn't even stop to say "sorry! are you ok?" His mom was right there, too! SOOOO RUDE! I get it was an accident- I was more upset with the inconsiderate parent!

Then I went down to hang with my good friend and we watched this romantic comedy called "Timer." It was about a technological advancement that is a digital countdown to the day and hour that you will meet your ONE "soulmate." You could get one for 79.99 and they snapped it into the inside of your wrist. When you see your soulmate, your oxytocin levels soar and when they see you, the same thing. Your timer will beep in a synchronized way with theirs. Not everyone chose to get one. The main character's timer was just "dashes" because her soulmate didn't have one. One day, (close to the end of the movie after a bunch of stuff), her timer started counting down. Sure enough, her "one" got his timer the day before. But he was dating her sister!

Ok sorry to recap. It was interesting and original, I thought, and the movie showed downsides to getting one. The youngest age to get one was 14! So that was explored as well.


Anyway, then today, exH dropped off S and stayed for awhile to chat. About S, about the yardwork, about the sickness going around at work. I went with the flow because I am working on mentally preparing myself for if he tells me that he is getting engaged or something. I think if I can hear that, handle it and not react then it means I am truly detached.

Also got some Christmas presents for S...better stop buying now!
