Well, after all the urgent questions about the fixer upper, P signed off with "talk to you later", giving me the impression that I'd get a status update before long. It turned out to be pretty long relative to the time frame of what was going on. She called last night to let me know she'd decided against it. Based on what she said, she probably did the deciding much earlier in the day, if not the day before.
Another lengthy talk with a lot of just catching up. I ended it first. She again signed off with "talk to you later", which I am no longer interpreting to mean "before long."
So, I see that I just took myself on a little roller coaster ride. I keep looking for signs of what she's thinking. Bad idea. She's just going to have to use her words and tell me directly if she wants me to know. And I have to go about my business assuming that there's no point in trying to figure out what she's thinking. No point! (This is for when I need to remind myself.)
