Well, I called my mother, who, while offering the customary condolences, was actually kinda cold to me. Not sure what's up with that. I didn't bother to ask her to get me the container for Neg's ashes, under the circumstances. Last time she was cold like that, it was because
blckwngdorcl didn't have a job, so she was mad at me for that. *shakes head* So, since he still doesn't have a job (we all agreed that looking for a job AND an apartment wasn't a good idea, and that it's probably a good idea to put it off until we're fully moved into the new place), I'm guessing she's still mad at me. Great. Thanks, mom. *sigh*
I also called my ex-husband, Leo. I was kinda surprised (but relieved) that his number was listed, since I couldn't find the old number I had (which would have been wrong, anyway). We talked for a while. It was kinda frustrating, 'cause he was talking outside on a cordless with shitty reception, so I felt like I missed half the conversation, but we did well enough. Turns out he's been reading my LJ for the past couple of years. Wish I'd known. Not that I would have changed anything, but it just would have been nice to know that there was a connection, at least in that way. I guess I kinda wanted to be there to cushion the blow when it came to various things in my life, but... well, I've always known that making my LJ public could have that (and other) consequences, and since there's a link to it on my original Yahoo ID, it would have been easy enough for him to find it, or anyone else, for that matter. Hell, for all I know, Fig reads it. Eep.
Anyway, it was a good talk. We both miss each other, both just as friends, and for the fabulous sex. :) He did end up divorcing his second wife. I had known he wasn't happy when I left, and had hoped things would work out for the best, one way or the other. Apparently, among other things, my ghost was something she just couldn't live with. That's sad, really. Sad to live in that much fear. Anyway, he has a new girlfriend, apparently also the jealous type, so not sure how much connection we can have again, after not really having spoken (except for twice that I remember) since I moved away 5 years ago. But he was an important part of my life, and I'd like to continue a connection with him. *shrug* Maybe this is what
lunenoire predicted, although he said he thought Leo would contact me. I had been getting impatient, anyway. :) But, at any rate, we talked a little, although not nearly as much as I would have liked, and I have his new Yahoo ID, so maybe we'll run into each other. (In my abundant spare time... bleh.)
So...
lunenoire is out buying soap, and then we're gonna take a shower... not sure what I'm gonna do with the rest of my day. Not sure if I'm up to calling anyone else at this point...
