Ok so I decided to give H a friendly call since I haven't spoke to him in 4 weeks. I called from the house and he didn't answer.

He called me back a few mins later

H: Hi, did you just call me?

Me: yes. I thought I'd call and say hi since I haven't talked to you in a long time. Did I wake you? (he sounded terrible)

H: I'm ok, got flu right now, sore throat running nose etc. yes its been a really long time somehow.

Me: (I joked) I hope its not swine flu (haha)

H: yeh me too, but I think its ok. How are you? How was your trip? Did you have a nice time? We should meet up sometime this week maybe.

Me: Im ok, good. The trip was good I had fun. I then told him xyz about practical things, bill, computer, post.

He listened and said sounds like something serious w computer maybe he should come and reformat it for me one day this week. I said ok, I had some advice about what to do but didn't want to lose any of his files etc that are on here. He said he doesn't think there is anything important on there, or at least not anything he has missed in this time so it's probably ok. Then I made a comment that I have work this week but not sure what else( I should have said I'll let you know what day I'm free!!!) He said he is busy thrus and fri.

And then I said well I'll let you get back to resting. I hope you feel better soon. and said bye.

At least I ended it first I think.

I know I'm supposed to be upbeat and happy when I talk to H I always start that way but something about him makes me go all quiet and soft in my voice. I need to be stronger.


Then just got a text saying 'actually might be better to meet today. I have lots to do in the week. need to get a hair cut so cant be lazy all day anyway. That ok?'

I haven't replied. I have plans at 1pm with a friend so I know I'm kind of busy. Not sure if I should say I'm busy or That I can't meet til this evening/tomorrow??

any advice???
