Hey, guys --

As always, Lin, thank you for the wonderful advice. The lists really help me because I have everything all concise in one place.

Am exhausted tonight for some reason so will keep this short. Worked hard on having an upbeat evening. H did leave me a voicemail on my phone later this afternoon, but I didn't get it until maybe 6pm or so. I decided not to call back nor to return his e-mail yet. So, I'm wondering, what should I do? He was already gone from the office by the time I arrived there, so I didn't see him, so still no contact yet. In his phone message today, he seemed so cold and distant... I'm worried that this new independence of mine has him angry??? I don't want to push him further into her arms... Am I going too far with this? I'm just trying not to jump all over his calls/e-mails like I used to, but I feel like he's pulling AWAY from me because of it... Is that what's supposed to happen???? I almost feel "hate" in his voice....

Maybe I should just send him a quick reply to his e-mail to let him know that I received it and have a few things to go over with him and see if he has time to have a meeting tomorrow? Or no? The things I have to talk to him about would be impossible to do via e-mail, but I suppose it could be via phone rather than in person... I don't know. Thoughts?
