Okay -- annnnnddd... She just left for work... As she came down the stairs she quickly said "g'bye!" -- which is normal for post BD -- and at least for the past month she has said that while continuing to walk down the hall towards the kitchen without even looking back towards the office or me.

But just now, she stopped and turned around to look at me -- I'm working in our home office at the foot of the stairs. I looked up and looked her in the eye as I said "Bye! Have a good day." and she replied with "You too!"

But -- still no affection in tone and I'm not talking about her going back to giving me a kiss goodbye and telling me she loves me before she leaves the house...

This is just freaking odd behavior from her right now. She just spent a little over a week in the arms of OW who she seems to be madly in love with -- so why change behavior after coming back from that trip?

I am not going to let myself believe that she is having a change of heart... Maybe she is just trying to make a real effort to be more friendly instead of being Monster.

So on my list of things I hope and pray that we one day find a real cure for: MLC
It's not as high on the list as cancer and alzheimer's, but it's now on the list...

As for me today -- going on continue the job search and have lunch with a good friend of mine at the school district...

Speaking of friends... Also going to allow myself to reflect on -- and be intrigued by -- the fact that a few of my friends who are single have reached out to me with "hey, heard your sad news... feel free to give me a call if you want to hang out, grab dinner, or a drink!" For some I am sure that they are reaching out from friendship, but in at least a couple of instances it seems to be from an interest beyond just being friends... Not that I'm interested in dating right now -- but just the thought that there is interest from a few women that I do think are attractive, intelligent, and interesting... Well, it certainly helps boost my ego right at the moment. :-)
