ASSumptions will kill you every time -

Often since the Bomb dropped I have had a gut feeling that I should call C or go over to see C and I always have gone with that feeling. Once we had a great date to the Zoo because I called and went over. Another time I had a nice visit. And of course the last time when I found her in the hot tub and saved her life.

Well, I went to work out this afternoon and when I got back I got the gut feeling to call her. I was thinking that it really was too early in the afternoon since on the hot tub day she had gone out around 5 to get the margaritas. I kept thinking she likely is doing that again and I should wait till around 7 or so. But the gut feeling kept saying call now. C and I have always had close thoughts, often finish each others sentences, once in the middle of a business day while we were each doing our own things in the office we even sent the red hearts on the IM to each other at the same time.

Well I called her and she answered. I sounded very plesant and upbeat and she did too. In the course of the conversation she said she got my V-Day card and thanked me for it then asked if I did anything special for V-Day. told her not really. She said she didn't either - but since it was raining all weekend she stayed in all day Saturday and cleaned out various "catch-all" places in the house, and then later went over to see her Uncle and Aunt (the ones in the upper 80's that I mentioned earlier in a post and the same uncle that said "God, I love that woman) I told her that I had been thinking of them over the weekend and asked how they were. [See how we think alike, while she was seeing them, I was thinking of them - maybe my talking about his statement last Wed. nite made her think about them and go over to see them?] anyway she did not see OM over V-Day.

We had very plesant talk and she said that she was going to go to Sis house in a few to baby sit the niece and nephew (the ones I care alot about too) Told her to tell them hi for me and that I need to see them again soon.

Told her that I had several Dr. appts this and next week and she said "yes, with the Dr. the Dentist and the Counselor and all" (interesting that she mentioned the Counselor) I asked her if she had gone back to see her Counselor. She said not yet but had appt this Thursday night but may not go as he charges $135/hr. She was wondering when my next session would be and I told her none scheduled at this time but could do the phone sessions quickley if needed.

All in all a very plesant phone call in which she shared several concerns she had about other things in her life and business and I gave her a good ear to listen - and If I had waited til 7-ish to call she would not have been there and my ASSumptions would have been worse. As it is, I had a plesant conversation and did a knock out on my ASSumptions. (And also gave her 4 days without any contact to give her some space)

All this about the OM has really knocked me down but I guess that I am not out yet. I will keep DBing and I hope that unconditional love will will out in the long run.
