I deliberately ignored M's phone calls through the evening and night. She was going pretty crazy. Power was out again, briefly, so she was going ape-shit over that. Then crazy over "where are you? " "XX is at the topless club maybe" and on like that.
Truth of the matter was, I spent a night relatively alone... well, not exactly. I stopped at my son's bar and had a beer and a sandwich. Then his girlfriend's bar (not hers, but she tends), then headed home to my apartment.
Spent lots of time talking to my very good friend who is both trying to help me transition and who is really finding herself challenged by her own (unspoken) feelings that are developing toward me.
I'm interested. But at the right time.... however, strong as she is, I keep having to reassure her that at the moment all we're headed into is a close friendship.
I even promised NOT to outright ask her out "on a date" (as opposed to going out with a friend....) until the year turns.....
Meanwhile, M kept going crazy. Called and called. Left numerous messages. Few that I kept.
She finally quit. Apparently went back home and found the electricity back on. Then emailed me to complain that the WIFI was messed up at the moment.... Sigh.
I see this a.m. that she called 3X around 1:30a.m. without leaving any messages. Glad the phone is somewhere I don't hear it.
