To Lovingly Detach

[Arsene]

W just left. We had a pleasant day. I tried to do my own stuff while W and D8 hung out together but we were still together quite a bit (difficult not to in this boarding house). W came in the room at dinner time to ask if I would join them for dinner and I did. There was another "guest" from the boarding house at the table so it's not like we were just the 3 of us anyway.

I managed to keep my PMA the whole time and not to get too involved in convos with W. We had a few laughs and a few light convos but nothing major. At one point W mentioned that she was considering going to the meditation classes I'm on. She said that she was reading the book I lent her last night and she agrees with the ideology, she says she might like to give it a try. I didn't say anything about it. Just that I found it interesting.

Before she left, we talked a bit about D8's attitude. She's been having tantrums and she's always very grumpy and difficult to handle at times. We both agreed that D8 was going through trying and confusing times. I guess it's a bit of a step up from simply saying that D8 is fine with this situation.

I've been on a bit of a high for the last few days and now, I feel like I'm coming down. It's not a good feeling. I wonder if she feels this as well, sometimes.
