Takin them as they come...

So I called her voicemail like I said I was going to. I just said something like "I haven't heard from you in a while, so I'm just calling to see if everything is alright. I hope your week was good. Call me if you want. Bye.". I had no expectations of getting a response from her. But what do you know, not a minute later she calls me back.

She said that her weeks been good but really busy. She gave me a run down of her entire week and what she's doing this weekend. I didn't even ask for it. It did sound like her week was pretty busy and she'd been going to bed really early. I didn't ask why she's not logged into IM anymore and didn't push anything on her. Just listened and offered things only when she asked. I did tell her that I have some money from selling her skis. She was stoked about the cash. In all it was probably only a 5 - 10 minute conversation. We're both working so it's not like I expected anything longer.

So that was the experiment. Now for monitoring results. It seems as though I should probably start calling her more. Maybe I should have called her Wednesday night instead of waiting until this morning. My new experiment is if she hasn't contacted me in a couple days, I will contact her. That means if I don't hear from her by Sunday night, I will call to just to say Hi.

What a load lifted off of me though. It's definitely boosted my spirits for the weekend. I was going to have fun either way, but now I don't have a little voice in my head wondering about it.

Peace,
