Yeah IW, I know what you mean. As much as us facing it, it makes them face it. I just really have any reason to call. It is usually only when we have these one off items with our D. Our normal schedule is pretty set.


Well, the pickup went well. I went in strong and ready. I was happy, confident and cool. She was friendly but maybe a little on the cold side. But she was good overall. Now I did do one little thing. I had talked about giving her the new Radiohead album a while back and never did it. Today she had things to give me. They were technically things for my D, a hula hoop and a "magic wand" but really she doesn't have to do this. If she simple wants to get our D a present there is no reason to give them to me for our home. I am not trying to over analyze but anyways. So, I thought about it for a second and thought it might be time to give her something. I said "Oh, I have something for you too" and got the disc out of the car. I gave it to her and mentioned she might like to have something to listen to on her way to work. She asked how I liked the album and acted genuinely excited to hear it. I think it cam across well, I was pretty nonchalant about it, so I don't think it came off as pursuing. Overall I was very laid back acting through the whole encounter. We parted ways with a "have a good night."

I really think this is my best approach to get her back into a holding pattern for now. I feel like that is all I can ask for at this point.
