B365V2.135 - It twas and it twasn't

So I said I would keep all of my dear readers in the loop of things, except I know nothing more as I type now than when I did when I typed before.

The flowers did arrive (yay to that) and after they arrived I got a nice message from her saying how much she liked them.  We continued to chat via Facebook messenger through the course of the day and she asked what time I was getting done.  Since I do not have a check in, check out time, my schedule is dependent on me getting my work done and nothing more, I did what I needed to and shot her a quick note to say I was done for the day.  Her day hadn't ended yet but I offered to stick around, figuring I would walk her to her car or something, but she said she had to pick up her son from a function, but if I wanted I could wait on Wednesday and we could go do something after work when she wasn't pressed for time.  That was honestly more than I expected, I just figured I would walk her to her car, but it was something that I wasn't going to say no to obviously, so I said sure, I would wait after work on Wednesday.

As you know, Wednesday has now passed us by.  I waited till she got off of work, but it turns out that she sends me a message towards the end of her day that she needs to pick her son up from another function.  So I offered to at least walk her to her car, I figure I might as well do something since I waited around after all.  Plus I had detoured my bank run today so I could stop by SW Randall and picked up a stuffed bear for the occasion, if I walk her to her car I can get this bear out of my bag at least.  So we meet after work and I walk her to her car, which she has conveniently forgot where she parked in the garage, so it looked like one of those Family Circus cartoons before we got to where we were supposed to be.  She apologized about forgetting that she needed to pick her son up, said she would be free Thursday after work.  So everything is in a holding pattern for the time being.

That being said I don't know if it is a holding pattern I am all that comfortable with.  Leftover scars from the crazy Canadian incident, who piled on so many lies in order to avoid things that my baseline assumption is to assume the worst and hope for the best.  I get spending time with me should not be her priority, hell I don't even know if she likes me, her family should come first, it is a parental obligation I have avoided for my 46 years on this planet, but I am coming from dealing with someone who lied about a dead kid, lied about custody of her kid, lied about her family, so my guard is up, probably more than it should reasonably be.

There, now you are all caught up, we will see what transpires manana.
