Wednesday W's

Who: Becka and I
What: Ran her required 4 kms
Where: Around Cranston-- a really nice route along the ridge, mostly and a bit through the pathways.
When: last night, took us about 1/2 hour-- slow for her, but she dumbed-down her running for ME. Not that it mattered, I'm feeling it again today as I tried to ensure my pace didn't slow her down too much.
Why: because she loves me. And because she needs to run to train for her 1/2 marathon coming up. And because it's good for us and it makes us feel good. And because it feeds our vanity. lol



Who: Estranged Friend and I
What: having our heart-to-heart
Where: that, actually, hasn't been determined yet. I should phone her. I'm assuming somewhere with coffee/drinks that's open late and doesn't 'expose' us too much to others who may overhear the conversation
When: tonight, after my kids are in bed, probably around 8:30 until ???
Why: because I need a sort of closure on the pain she caused, and she needs to answer my questions. And because we know that life is too short to carry this kind of hurt forever, and we both need to move on towards a new, better friendship.



Who: Crazy dayhome mom and her child
What: aren't here and haven't phoned
Where: well, he's SUPPOSED to be here, but I haven't heard WHERE he is.
When: Usually she drops him off by 7 am, but so far, no word. It's 9:15. ???
Why: Well, read my description of 'dayhome mom'. She's crazy. She hired me the Friday before he came for the first time on Monday-- never having met me. Dropped him off, didn't come in to look around, and said barely 2 words. Doesn't ever hug him when she sees him, and he doesn't get excited either. She doesn't carry on NORMAL conversation at the door when she picks him up or drops him off, and seems almost careless about his well-being. (When he peed himself because he convinced himself that he was locked in a room, she laughed when I told her the story. ) IMO, he has issues that I'm a bit worried about. I'm watching him for other signs of neglect or abuse or mental/learning issues or SOMETHING!
