Spent most of Saturday watching basketball. Got a great visit in with Buddy and ended up going to his parents’ later on for dinner. Hadn’t seen them since I was a teenager. His mom was just like I remembered her... trying to feed us the second we walked in the door...lol. It was like going back in time.
Briefly saw Brook at the tournament. He was pretty busy with his team. Didn’t see him when I left but we exchanged some texts later. He definitely seemed off and I heard a few comments from mutual acquaintances that they noticed he was off too. He told me he was down because his team’s season had ended and he’d been coaching a lot of those girls since they were in the sixth grade. He was also sick and feeling run down. I think he is also still struggling with his reaction to his XW’s possible affair with his friend too. Sigh... it seems the timing is off between him and I. Good thing I have lots going on to keep me busy. Who knows? Maybe in a month or two we can have that date...lol. At this point I’m not holding my breath though. Don’t want to set myself up for disappointment.
I also ran into my old basketball coach and had a nice talk with him. Here’s a story of reconnection... he and his wife were married for 36 years...then they got divorced. Five years later, they got back together and they’ve been that way for the last two and a half years. Poor woman. She had five years of peace...lol. Anyway...just goes to show you that life is unpredictable and some people do get back together after a divorce. You just never know what the future has in store.
Texted with Jack a bit last night and this morning as well I know...bad idea. He seems to be all over the map... from “I know this is for the best and I’ve known all along I couldn’t be with someone your age who has kids” to “I resent that you gave up on me” to “I love you so much” to “I would do anything to make you happy” to “I know I have the potential to do so much better” to “I crave your attention” to “I just want to give you a hug”, etc... Thankfully, at the end of it he seemed a lot better. Said he admired my patience with the “stupid” things he said and that he was just having a bad moment. Said he would definitely like to be friends some day.
Fun day today. Got a few hours of pool practice in with my sister and then went to Star Wars with her and my BIL. Got home and watched a friend play in a tournament final on livestream. Pretty nice day. Tomorrow is a day off but it’s filled with kids’ appointments and things on my ToDo list. Gotta get studying for my interview too. Ugh. Really hate interviews.
