Nothing really new to report except she's swinging by to bring the cat to the vet for its shots. Oh, a realtor called and asked if I was willing to show my house (it's not for sale-I've just been mulling over what I need with a five bedroom house) Here's my questions of the day.
1) Yesterday when X called to ask me over she somewhat bad mouthed that the house had taken a turn for the worse when we got back. Her words..."I swung over yesterday and after all the effort I put into the house I just had to pick up the mess-I couldn't leave it." I said "oh, it wasn't that bad", but she insisted it was messy. I just made a joking MMMmmmmmmmmm noise. What's her deal? I know I'm not the housekeeper she was. Does she want the job back?
What was her incentive to ask me over for drinks on her parents anniversary? The usual...that she's crazy about me but won't admit it? Should I have turned her down?
Thirdly, she's done 90% of the contacting. Should I pick it up a bit?
Lastly, my X's uncle, that I've always liked, is getting separated (and probably divorced). I'm not sure if I'm supposed to know but I was debating calling him to ask if he needed a place to stay for a bit that he could stay in my downstairs bedroom. Anyone think that's a good idea? Ask my X first? BTW, it's funny, but when I asked what her aunt's reasons were for breaking up with her uncle she gave me a little list of things her aunt said. Then she said "he might come off that way, but I know it isn't true". Funny after jumping ship herself that she would defend the LBS. I wonder if she ponders the give up attitude.
