Status update: Since Tuesday's Friend of Court and R discussion we've gotten along pretty well with her initiating a lot of small talk. We haven't had a word about R, which is fine by me after all last weekends talks, but have been working together finishing up shopping and hanging out around house. I've also been helping her setup a non-profit foundation and started a website for her disorder awareness. She's planning a half marathon run in May and when we discuss it sounds like she's expecting me there (most likely as friends in her mind but nice I'm in picture). She seems excited about finally getting this off the ground and has a renewed energy level. She's also brought up a few activities that she wants family to do over next week or so.
My mom invited her to my families Christmas (really small this year) but she hasn't said if she'll be going or not. I know she's going to her families the weekend after with kids and I'm not invited. New Years plans are still up in the air so we'll see what happens. Tomorrow her and kids are going to a work Christmas party while I go see a movie with a friend (I wasn't invited to party and kind of glad not going because not a fan of most people there). Kids found out I wasn't going last night in car and both were upset and said it's always more fun when dad goes and why can't he change plans. They didn't drop it so after about a minute I put on a song they liked to change subject. W was in really good mood until then but was pretty quiet for next 30-45 minutes. Not sure if that meant anything or not.
I've been continuing to work out a lot and playing more guitar. Kids love the song Cruise by Florida Georgia Line so learned that quickly the other night. Only 4 chords and easy progression but kids were impressed and sang and danced the night away .
I continue to show her the new me and speak her LL and she seems to be opening up a little more. It's really difficult getting a read on her though and she keeps everything close to chest. She's also not ready to invite me to any of her things yet which leads me to believe still no change regarding M for her. Only time will tell and I know I just have to be patient.
