#3- It is very irritating to be the sober person in a group of drunks
I went with a friend to an outdoor concert last night, and it was a lot of fun. The music was great, the weather was perfect, and I was enjoying myself very much. I made myself a pact that I wouldn't get drunk and I didn't. I had one drink all night, and then stuck with water.
My friend, on the other hand, proceeded to get wasted and I ended up taking care of him last night. I didn't get home until 3am, and then the sirens woke me up at 5:30. Needless to say, I'm tired.
It is going to be a long day.

H sent me a text last night, probably the first time he has texted me in about 3 weeks. It was storming pretty badly, and he knows I am afraid of storms. I didn't have my phone on, (I was sleeping) so I got them this morning. The first one said "I hope you are ok, it's only a thunderstorm." and the second one said "I'm sorry for texting you." I don't know WTF that is supposed to mean, the only thing I can think of is I didn't respond to his first text so he assumed I was ignoring him. I don't know for sure though. I don't want to be a b*tch, so this morning I responded and simply said "I am ok. Thanks for asking." Do you think that was ok or should I not have said anything at all? This whole thing is so confusing. I don't know what the right thing to do is.

IMO, responding to his outreach the way you did was just fine. He was concerned about you, and reached out. Don't read too much into it, but don't simply disregard it either. Baby steps. A tiny glint of light.
Hang in there.
