Ok, a bit of an update for the day. Given the advice of my DB coach that it was ok to initiate contact so long as I do it only about 50% of the time, I texted my W after lunch today. We ended up texting for a few hours and sharing some of the fun things each of us had done over the weekend. In a lot of ways, it feels like we each try to one up each other to see who had the most fun lol. I guess that gives me something to do on the weekends. Anyway, the last couple of times we've talked it turned a wee bit sappy toward the end. Rather than engage in that at this point, I just end the conversation. I told her that one of our dogs was going to have to have surgery and she asked if I could schedule it at a time when she was going to be there. I said of course, and that if she wanted she could be there at a different time than me. She said that wasn't necessary and that she didn't mind seeing me and that she "[didn't] hate [me] you know" Then she gave me a smiley face and I just said ok. After a bit she said "you may hate me, though" and I said no, I don't hate you and left it at that. Realizing that I was getting likely to get sappy I felt it best to end the conversation. So I just said, well I gotta go now, hope you have a nice afternoon. She wants to come over tomorrow and check for some cable that goes to her camera and I said that would be fine unless something comes up at work.
So, I guess the ball is back in her court. I'm not going to call her or text unless she initiates contact. If she doesn't in the time before I next talk to my DB coach, then we will discuss it and figure out what to do next.
Thank you all so much for listening and giving me a place just to do a kind of mini journal
