Just discovered Raine's threads about her sitch... And I'm now listening to Titanium as I read what my W posted on my FB timeline for my birthday...

Just said "Happy Birthday!" and then said she hopes it's a good day and that I don't get stuck at the DMV all day... and added the smiley emoticon with the tongue sticking out...

Also checked the card she got me -- pretty generic b-day card that she just signed "Love, W" -- We've both always been write-a-letter-within-the-card people, but of course I didn't expect that given the circumstances. Was nice to see that she wrote "Love" even if the feeling isn't really there... Almost prefer that over what kind of mess she might have written if she did try to write something more inside of the card.

MLC craziness... I get Monster... Monster makes sense... But this "friendly" behavior... just. don't. get. it. Not saying I want Monster to come back... Just baffled by the past two weeks of mostly civil and increasingly friendly behavior... We really have had moments this week where we were laughing with each other about stuff -- and I think the last time we've been like that around each other was pre-BD which was late October... OW is still in the picture but she's hiding her interaction with OW from me (which is silly because she's already admitted it to me and it's no longer a secret being kept from me), so I'm not stupid enough to think maybe she's changing her mind... It's just weird... Maybe she doesn't know what it's all about either... And of course my defenses are up and I keep expecting Monster to come roaring back at any moment.
