ISLH, Yep, I will re-think what you said about the apology, and the vacation clarification.
I nearly fell off my chair a few minutes ago. I received an email from my H on Valentine's Day. It was neither romantic nor mentioned V-Day. But he didn't avoid contacting me today. He may have remembered my comment in January (4-5 weeks ago). My comment went "You seem to avoid me on holidays)" and his response then was "You think too much".
His email: Subject: Thank you
Thank you for dinner the other night.
I got an e-mail from S16#2 who said he has not been writing much. He said he is doing fine and bought some fun stuff at the convention. The time he sent his letter was 1AM.
Today is my 2 year anniversary at <current workplace>. I cannot believe it has been 2 years. The 1 terrible year I spent at <old workplace> seems much longer than these 2 years.
I do not know if I mentioned that my old boss at <old workplace> was fired.
