New month, new strategy

[istherehope]

OK,

Small contact update. H is at his conference in SA. He IMd me (I didn't think he was going to today)a pretty friendly message.

He asked how I was, then he told me he was tired, hadn't regulated his sleep yet. Then he asked what was I doing. So, I was joking around and typed in some lyrics from one of the Flight of the Conchords songs if anyone knows what I'm referring to..."Hanging out in the nude, being lewd." He told me the show was ending after this season, and then told me that some other shows we like are starting soon. I didn't respond to that as I don't have access to those shows here in Poland, and I didn't want to chance future talk. So I just asked if he was in the conference, and he said "yes, right now, so can't talk long." Then he added "so my call tonight." I'm guessing that means he'll be calling me tonight since he has no time to talk at the conference? I didn't directly respond to that though. He has a call with a DB coach tonight (not to try and save the marriage, just to talk to someone), so I just said oh yeah I think your call with C is at 7. Then he asked for the phone number again. In this way I didn't jump on his potential call, if anything I sort of acted like I didn't know what he was talking about. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. It seems like he is making an effort. Asking me "what are you doing" is sort of one of those cute things he used to do in this sweet tone of voice pre-bomb. Now via IM I'll never know how he's really feeling, but it still felt really nice.

I'll update later after the call (if there is one).

Oh, also tomorrow is H's birthday. Is it OK to send this email?

Subject: Happy birthday!

Hi,

I hope you have a great night, and drink some good South African wine for me :).

Please tell me there's no pressure in that?

Thanks!
