Day 3 of no cell calls to H. This morning before we left for work he asked me for a phone number relating to the road construction. I told him that I had it written down in my office. He said, Ok, call me with it as soon as you get to work and get settled. Darn, I don't want to break my call record so soon, so I thought about what I was going to do. It was pretty simple really. I just didn't call him. But I had the number ready so that I could give it to him if he called me.
He just called, and said "I didn't hear from you." I told him (truthfully) that I had been in a meeting. I gave him the number and he told me that he was on a job site downtown today, but that it would be a bit of a walk for me if I wanted to come at lunch. I told him that I had a lunch meeting scheduled today anyway, and also meetings after that at 1 & 3. He said "wow" a day of meetings, and I said "yes, it's getting busy."
When he had first called we were playing around and when I answered the phone I said "who is this?" He responded, "who is this? Why it's your H! you dork." I don't think he has referred to himself as that for some time now, at least without adding "but not for long."
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
