Had a good conversation with W tonight. I initiated the call since it sounded like she was disappointed that I didn't call back over the weekend when D had been playing with the phone and dialed me up.
So we ended up talking for close to 45 min. She's got her own "as if" going on since she was talking about the future at the new place and of the home she'd like to end up moving into because of the location near friends and close to school for the kids. I just listened to what she had to say and validated by saying "sounds like a nice place."
I've been letting her talk about the future and been holding my tongue about mine.
She asked me if I would be willing to read a book with her. It is about de-cluttering your life. She said it would be something that we can discuss about and share our thoughts as we go. I think it's a great idea. I said of course I will.
