What a day

M left had left the house so as not to be home when I got home. Left me a note:

"As you told me when you left -- see you in a few days"

She went incommunicado pretty much with her son and her sis. Finally surfaced with them during the day, and with me late in the p.m..

Mind you, I flew home on a red-eye this a.m.. I've had a few hours of sleep at the point that she called.... and she seemed to want to get into "the stuff between us" (not a quote). Anyway, I refused to rise to the bait and carefully, politely said if she wanted to talk seriously, it needed to wait until I'd had some sleep and rest. Otherwise, I could not guarantee staying on an even keel and constructive if we pursued the discussion at that point..... (late in the p.m.).

She wanted to push me on MY need to compromise and change and all that. Sounded like she's close to laying out some kind of ultimatum (staying away until we straighten some things out.... etc, etc).

She finally quit pressing it....

Been peaceful since.... I have sorted mail, paid bills, did my laundry.

Then, about 1/2 hour ago she called and then started texting.... She'd started missing me... more civil interchange.....

We have a date-like possibility for after work tomorrow.... We'll see.
