Working on a friendship

[Belle]

I am just not good at this stuff.

So scared of rejection.

I mentioned that I watched the show. I asked him if he saw the surrender date and he said he missed that part. I explained to him what it was and that I totally saw myself in it - especially the driving part. He laughed when I told him because he could relate to it and given the situation that happened today - read on:

H called today b/c he was trying to vote.

Apparently he went to the high school where we used to live before we bought a house, that's where he was registered.

When he told them that he had moved, they told him to go to a different location. (And gave him the address) When he couldn't find it, he called me.

I told him I thought the location that they gave him was wrong. I had looked his new voting location up when he was over Sunday night and I had told him then where it was.

So he went to the place they told him to go, and of course it was wrong.

So he went to the place that I originally told him to go to and it was right. 3 phone calls later and he finally voted.

I mentioned that I had told him the other night, didn't he remember - he said that he hadn't listened.....

When I told him about the Oprah show, he had a laugh b/c he had been calling me for directions. He has no idea of street names. He had been driving around for 15 minutes when he finally called and it turns out he had been on the wrong street the whole time, looking for the place that was wrong anyway.

So I didn't get to say much as far as apologizing for the way I've treated him like an infant.

I guess I just didn't make the words come out.

Perhaps I will try again - like maybe after I read the book, which I plan on ordering.

H was in a lousy mood - given his voting problems and the fact that everyone asked him where he was today - he wasn't in all the classes that everyone else advanced to. (B/C he failed 2 last trimeseter)
