Glad your conversations went well with H, even if they are confusing.
I will never understand that. My H will go a week with no calls, then ask me why I didn't call, then call me 3 times in a day for things that are clearly just a lame reason to call. Like they need a purpose instead of just saying Hi.
I liked your softball analogy too! Maybe there is a good lesson there too. I know when I try TOO hard at things like that, that is when I screw up. When I realax and have fun it flows better.
