I did have a great day - thank you! Overall yes, I'd say it is a positive direction, so I'm wondering how come I feel like I've somehow screwed up. I have no idea why I feel that way.
I was definitely self-contained during the lunch, yet friendly and communicative. I wasn't overly warm (guarded heart) - maybe that is what I feel I screwed up over. Gosh - it's like walking a tight rope!!
He did bring me a news article that he knew I'd like - so that was good of him to do. I gave him some greek food I picked up yesterday, and he accepted it - the first thing he accepted from me in 4 months!
The other good news is that he agreed to come over on Saturday to help sort through our belongings in prep for my move next week. Some things do belong to his mother and so he wants to safeguard them for storage.
I also asked him to be around for the move day itself, which he partially agreed to. It is going to be a big day because we have things that belong to the neighbor, things to go into storage and things to take with me - so there are a few directions that need to be managed.
When I got home, I called him to thank him for coming over and we chatted for 45 minutes about bits and pieces.
His birthday is this week now. I have decided to deliver my gift to him personally - by leaving it on the steps.
