Hey there, Bulldogr! Good to see that you've posted.
After a bit over 48 hrs of darkness, W breaks silence and calls me. Very cheery and happily told me about S5's swimming lesson. We laughed together about his antics and progress, and I explained how I was conducting interviews this week, so that was why I've missed his last two lessons. She seemed to relax and brighten further.
My crazymaker is telling me that W is so very happy now cause she's Ding me or has found someone new. My rational side is saying that she is attracted to my ability to support her as a friend and that our R is moving exactly the way it should. I feel lots of warmth between us right now. Knowing her she really wouldn't be this way if an OP was involved.
W expressed concern for me, saying "You looked really tired today." Rather than fishing for pity, I joked, "Sleeping w/ S5 was like sleeping w/ a grizzly cub!" resulting in more laughter. W talked about work and I was able to validate things.
Well, I'm off to work out and run, then to bed to catch up on sleep. We're doing taxes together tomorrow night, and I need to be rested for a nice level of PMA! Are you sure no wine for tomorrow?
