Stillness

[aeolianchaos]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Had a good time with the folks, ate a lot, drank some, and hung out and talked a bunch. Too bad they could only be in town for about 24 hours.

It sounds like she's trying to establish a "new normal" for you guys - one of detached pleasantness - nothing wrong with that, just maybe not what you want.

Who knows? I don't want to try and spend that much time figuring out what her game is at this point. I doubt she fully knows, herself. I'm liable to drive myself nuts trying to guess what she is thinking w/ so little communication.

Again, you might want to look at what R you plan to have with her now - are you still going to be someone she can talk to? A friend?

I can't predict the future, but there is really no reason at this point for me to sustain a friendship with her post D. She has certainly not acted in any way like a friend who I would wish to maintain a relationship with. She is welcome to attempt to change that, but being propitiative rather than actually ever addressing the $h!t that went down isn't going to be the path to that, for me at least.

I gotta find something to do for a few hours to have some fun. Maybe fold laundry.
