Had a very pleasant phone convo with W an hour or so ago...
It was logistical with pickup of D8 today.
W actually went on a bit of a tangent with her stuff. Nothing major. Health stuff. I validated pleasantly. She wasn't complaining, just reciting recent things with her. It was nice that she "opened up" a bit with her stuff. She's been doing that a lot more lately, regarding plans and more personal stuff.
Also talked a bit about D13... again, good stuff...
There was a joke about me that was truly good natured that she made. Nice that she would be able to joke about my body in a way that was fun... true, but fun... not at all offensive...
Anyhow, positives like this over the past couple weeks, with relatively fewer negatives...
If this is the future, then that's OK... I do not mind being her "friend" or moreso being "friendly" with her...
That still doesn't mean that I will agree to having combined family b-days for kids... unless circumstances are drastically different...
Not to be negative nelly here, but this could be the "nice" before she asks again...
Next answer to her will be "I still have a lot I need to think about..." or similar... If she asks again...
