When I call him, if I need to leave a short voicemail, should I say the same thing I did before? "Hello, it's me! I would love to catch up with you, so give me a call, or I'll give you a call?"
Or do I need a "new line"? Have I already played the "catching up" line? Do I need a variation on that line?
These are the things I think about in bed at night... *sigh*.... I am so glad to have you guys who UNDERSTAND ME
