"so does that mean that i won't know what you are getting them? just trying to communicate. i will pick D up from the bus.theropy for S and i is next tuesday at 6: 30. i paid her fifty. she said that you were dealing with the insurance, she would like an update on your progress. as for the scout shirt give me both of them and i will handle it."
I am guessing that he is pissed that he tried to "play nice" and sound concerned and I was business-like with him back. Also pissed that I know about him getting a phone for CW.
I'm not rising to the bait. I'm not even answering him until tomorrow afternoon, the earliest. I don't see any rush. I almost started my first response with "No, the distance doesn't seem all that different than you've been for quite a while"--but I didn't (pat myself on the back).
I'd love to be able to have the right badges and give him the shirts already done, but I don't think I can buy them without a scoutmaster's signature.
I really don't want him in the yard; IC doesn't think he should be there, either. I'm debating about what I might respond to with that. His rigid-role is that of the hero, the rescuer...do I let him do it, or work overtime over the next 2 weeks to clean it up myself, so there isn't too much left to do? Not sure...don't have to decide tonight.
Silly image popped into my head today after the IC session...does anyone remember the movie, Back to the Future? At the end of the movie, Michael J. Fox's character is disappearing, slumping down and loosing all his strength. Then, everything suddenly goes right and he springs back up. I feel a bit like that tonight. Stronger than I have been in a long while. Can't wait to put that rock down, once and for all. I'm tossing it to IC, who will throw it at H (hope she nails him square in the head!). It will be up to him as to whether he catches it--or not. It was his damn rock all along, anyway.
