As suggested by my TC, Thursday (Halloween) I put on a costume and delivered a plastic pumpkin filled with candy to W at work. She looked puzzled and asked why I did that. I said to get a smile out of her. She didn't have a response. I wasn't satisfied with that so I did something I haven't generally done since she moved out, I called her. She apologized for not thanking me (I didn't bring it up) and then vented about work for nearly an hour.
Friday there was only limited contact.
Saturday W emailed me asking if she could stop by. I said of course she could visit. She then said she was going to the market and asked if I needed anything (a first since she moved out). I responded I needed toilet paper and kitty litter. When she arrived she had those as well as a few snacks/treats for me. She pet the cat and talked for nearly three hours (her longest visit in months). She mostly vented about work. She did indicate she was no longer friends with the one person at work she had spent time with. She said she's been eating too much lately and needed to cut back. She also talked about music, some stories from her past, etc. I guess you'd say it was a normal rambling conversation. She then picked up some shoes she had left and said something about getting the rest of her clothes. I'm guessing she had left mostly cold weather clothes at the house.
Some signs of life, but still nothing definitively about R. It gets frustrating after a while.
