Wow, it appears we have a committee of fools. Or dreamers. I don't know which. Thanks all for sharing this unusual boat with me.

I've got quite a bit to update, but no time to do it. I'll just have to give a really brief summary.

Thursday--not a great deal of contact. I needed to stop by to again switch vehicles...she had promised to drive for her son's class so she needed the van again. She called fairly late and left a message for a favor...cutting this lesion off her back.

Friday..She called to see if I got her message. I told her I did and although not that comfortable with the idea, I'd try it (it's been quite a few years since I've even done minor stuff like that...not my field). I called after work and asked if she wanted to grab dinner. She readily agreed. I know...I haven't stopped initiating, but she hasn't stopped accepting.

Dinner was really nice...comfortable, friendly. After that I did the favor for her. Kind of hung out a little bit. Then she left but we talked several more times last night on the phone. I called once to see if she was feeling okay. And she called back a couple times...once right after I hung up to say "thank you for dinner and for doing that for me".

Oh, the only other thing worth mentioning was when she called Friday morning she said her aunt invited me to her house for mother's day. It's essentially most her family. When I later gave her the presents the kids had bought for her (so she could bring them to her own house)...she said "I thought you were coming over to aunt's). Wasn't sure if that was the equivalent of saying she wants me there.

Well, gotta go. Have a great weekend everyone.
