Alright, so H went out of town and I knew he was going. No big deal. But, he left without mentioning it the day he left or saying goodbye. He treated me like I had leprosy in the morning so I took his bait and didn't approach for a hug or even a 'close' goodbye. I waved from across the room and left for work.

I spent all yesterday being angry and upset and squelching the urge to contact him. I had dozens of excuses and any of them would have been acceptable. But they were excuses. I have not made contact. I am still angry about it this morning.

I just had a light bulb moment and realized I am angry at MYSELF but funneling it towards H. Sure, he was a jerk. But I reacted to his being a jerk and mirrored that behavior instead of being who I should have been in that situation. The me who rejects H's being a jerk and not react to him. Duh, DB 101. I know he won't take the lead and I should have been the bigger person.

Ok, I gotta get busy and wake up the snoring dogs to go out for round 2 of chores. \:\)
