But hey... WW doesn't quite seem to know what to do with my no contact week.... even though I announced to her on Sunday that I didn't want to talk to her this week.
Maybe it's not "pure" no contact, though. I did text her on Tuesday in response to her voicemail, and got Wonka's (and Pigpen's) blessing for my minimalist response. Left things alone for a day.
This morning, she posted some photos on Facebook regarding the real estate business, and all the closings she had lined up yesterday. I knew it was a big day for her, even though part of it had to do with the OW's listing and new purchase. I decided to be a good sport and commented: "W is the hardest working woman in real estate. Proud of you."
She "liked" and commented back, "Thanks, Dif."
Thought little of it, went to work, hung out with some friends.
Then tonight... I missed a call... she left a voicemail...
"Hey, um... it's me, I'm just... checking in, just wanted to talk to you... I should be here from... I don't know... you can call me back or... whatever... just wanted to check in, and see how you're doing, how's the job going, all of that... thanks..."
Temp checking, yeah, I know. I get it. But how should I respond? Or should I respond? Would it be a bad idea to suggest she meet me somewhere I already plan to be on Sunday afternoon, so we can catch up? Other people will be around, so there might be some safety in those numbers... but maybe I should just be completely detached. Would love some group feedback.
Been GALing like crazy this week. Not sure I love my current job, but I do like the people and the company... thinking and hoping there might be some opportunity that I might enjoy more for me down the road with these folks.
In any case, had the BEST night last night with my boys and my friends. Tonight, a good long conversation with my best friend about what the future might look like for me with or without my W (oh, and some EVEN EARLIER emails I discovered in our account from the predator... but will save those for a later day... they have no impact on my PMA, but are absolutely affirming for me regarding her predatory intentions from day one... damn... I'm going to write a book. I am a writer, you know. If it turns out I'm worthy, will you all give me good reviews on Amazon???
Anyway, while I'm not doing the best job of staying away from the board, I really do feel like this has been the best week yet in terms of detachment from the W. AND... she has reached out to me twice completely out of the blue perhaps on account of it. Not that such is my intention, the detachment is important regardless, and I feel and know that. But the voicemails have been interesting "byproducts." And I know on this board, that's the kind of result people want to hear.
I'm off again for the week... until I'm not... right, Wonka?
