Quick update:

I ended up meeting up for dinner last night with the doctor and then falling asleep at her place (nothing happened). It was awkward and there was clearly still tension over our missed date on Thursday. Again, her problem, not mine.

Today, she ended up stopping by my place for an hour in the afternoon before running some errands. She later texted me that she wanted to drop off some almond milk and cocoa mix (from the previous night) while I was baking cookies for a work party this evening.

So, she shows up, without warning at my place around 6 p.m. And she has brought me an unexpected Christmas present of a couple of pairs of really nice "smart wool" socks for biking in the cold. But then proceeds to tell me that she doesn't think we should see each other any more. How bizarre!?!? It certainly stung/stings that she doesn't want to keep seeing me, but it was offset by the sheer absurdity of bringing me socks as a present while telling me that.

To top it off, she then sends me a series of ten(!!) text messages while I am driving to and at my work party, wondering if I have tried on the socks, how they are, why I'm not responding, etc....

Between the conversation with my W and this, it has been a tough couple of days. I'm definitely feeling a bit deflated and low. I suppose that's the cost of making myself vulnerable. Thankfully, I can laugh a bit about the absurdity of the situation, but it still is a blow to my ego. It's cold and wet, and we might be getting snow and I'll be alone in the house. Not the way I would have preferred to have spent my weekend, but I will get by.
