Hi tree -- hope you're doing OK and that the "freak monster" is starting to retreat a little.

I'd have to say I agree with Andy, much as I sympathize with you. But think of it this way -- it's not likely that he's going to do anything other than have dinner because he isn't going to want to make a (bigger) fool of himself in front of those colleagues -- especially the "confidante." I don't think you have any specific to worry about in this particular instance. You can work on the longer-term issues with your C or on your own, if you're not ready to confront them yet.

Hang in there -- it's been a rough few weeks for you and all the emotions are raw and on the surface. It's going to take a long time for them to fully heal. In the meantime, I think the manicure, pedicure, and haircut will do you a world of good -- why not throw in a massage for extra measure? [Big Grin]
