He just called and I acted like nothing was wrong. Said, "Hi, how are you doing?" He said, "Tired." I said, "I love you." and in a sullen voice, he said, "I love you too."
THEN he said, "have you checked your email?" I said, no not yet. He said that Discovery Channel called and they're holding a Dirty Jobs Banquet and it's the day that we have tickets to go see Kathy Griffin and booked a hotel room, at the end of July. They were calling to make sure they could attend. I was immediately excited for him and plainly said, "Well, great, we can cancel the room and I'll just go with Chris or Missy." He sounded a bit relieved that that was my reaction and said that that was what he was thinking too.
Then he said I fwd'd you an email from that tattoo artist who wrote me again. He said he was very impressed with my art work and wants to sell it in his shop in Hollywood. He said that all the rock stars visit there and Alice Cooper was there just the other day. He said they would get big bucks for it, for sure. I said, "Great." He said, "If this really comes through, it would probably be a good idea to fly out there and meet some people. He's invited me to his place several times." His tone was upbeat and he was acting like NOTHING happened. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
When we hung up, I said, "I love you" and this time he hesitated for a second and then said, "I love you too."
Btw, in response to "what is he doing to fix things?" When I told him yesterday that I needed to know that he was trying to forget about the past, he scoffed and said he was offended that I thought he wasn't.
