Our story

Another quick update (with apologies in advance to the moderators who have the screen what must seem to be my stream of consciousness posting)...

When I pedaled up our road this afternoon coming home from work, I was surprised to see her car. I came in, said hi in an upbeat friendly way - and was at least acknowledged. I jumped in the shower (it's a mild winter here, and a hilly bike ride home, so I was sweating my tail off) half expecting her to hit the road before I got out, but she was still there. She wasn't talkative at all, much like in the past months, but now I know enough not to force a conversation. I merely minded my own business, thanked her when she handed me the TV remote (she already had been watching ESPN, so I didn't really need it :D). She said 'see ya' when she left, I warmly wished her a goodnight.

I'm resisting the temptation to ACTUALLY try and mind read, but I DO find it mildly curious that there was no more talk about the divorce or a settlement, and she again didn't seem to take anything more with her.

I feel pretty decent about the way I handled myself, and am looking forward to the rest of the evening. Have a bowl game on now, will catch up with the DVR after that. About to make myself dinner (and tomorrow's lunch).
