RQS has noted that by the end of the weekend, we are totally in sync with each other, and that it is hard to part. Our arrivals at the other's house begin with a greeting, and then a period of synchronization with each other after being apart for the better part of a week. By the end of the weekend, it seems like we can almost always have a good read on what the other is thinking and work seamlessly together. Yet, RQS noted that I was several steps ahead of her yesterday when I shifted our pedicures into today. Once she realized that I had to be in Mario mode to buy the sofa, all was OK. But she would have liked a better clarification of what I was doing, to understand the whys and wherefores before things start to happen. Today, with incomplete information from her, I realized which nail salon she wanted to go to, and made sure we went there before she had to go home.
Later on, I dropped RQS off at the train station and killed some time at BJ's before proceeding to Vicki's house. I got there a few minutes early and texted Vicki of this, saying not to rush. But when she got home, she wondered - did she give me the right time? I told her that I was there early, and texted her to say she didn't need to rush. And then, we headed off to Lefteris Gyro.
Both of us ordered the Greek Salad with Chicken - and both of us feasted. Unlike most meals, she finished first. She was famished! We chatted about many things. But when I told her about what is going on with our board and our managing agent, she started saying what to do, instead of listening to find out what was really going on. Eventually, she caught on, seeing that our slow progress on some projects depended on one person - and understanding why things are the way they are. (Vicki is one of the people I use for reality checks, and I know she can keep a confidence.)
Once dinner was over, I drove Vicki home and fell out early....
