W called this evening – I almost expected this, sorry to say!
I had prepared a few questions but I didn’t need them.
She started out by asking “How are things” and I replied “Fine” held a little break and then for the first time since LRT asked her “How are you?”
Then she started out by telling about MIL visiting, the Ds liking this and that they have had a great weekend. Then a lot about D6 having some minor issues with two friends that both want her to call them best friend – long talk about this. I told her she handled the talk well since I believe she did.
Then something about Christmas TV-shows and then she stopped talking for a while. I asked her a short question and she started again. This time about D4 being sad when people leaves her and saying goodbye.
When this came to an end I told her that I will pick up bags as usual Wednesday and that I would like for her to make sure the warm clothing is packed. Then she talked a lot about clothing.
I ended the call hereafter. The end was a bit funny. It came a little abrupt and I felt she wanted to keep talking…just a feeling! Call lasted 7 min.
I feel I was more open and I don’t feel I was cold. I would say a little withdrawn, reserved and sparse in words but still quite nice and listening. I didn’t tell her about my life except for the fine at the beginning. I feel I did good and sticked with the plan!
It seems like this is her cake at the moment, as Sandi has told me. It is crazy knowing that she is expressing so much sadness and still acting like this. It’s just like me, except I try not to express it I know I shouldn’t mindread, but it is hard not to give this a thought with all the things I have learned and experienced over the last two weeks. I won’t act on anything – just a thought!
Tomorrow S10 and I have taken the day off and we will go hunting for a doe-calf. I am looking so much forward to this. It is the first time we will stalk together – and in fact I think we are equally exited.
