Do what I can but still have questions 3

Strike when the iron is cold... since H is in a "good" mood today, I will actually try to strike up a quick D conversation. I will say that I know I told him that I was making my lists for him to look at but I was wondering if I could present it to him in one week.

He may be angry because he wants this to move fast, but I will calm him by saying that it is difficult for me and I feel I need sufficient time to consider all the options. In reality, this gives me enough time to research, talk to my MC about it, and perhaps have another call with Laurie if I need it that soon. I will do a great job DB'ing all week to prepare and then my list will be very vague (even though I will have a more detailed version in my head.)

lastly, I need to find a way to put the ball in his court. right now, I hold the ball because I am supposed to confront him with my lists. I could just never do it, but that would certainly push him away. I would rather hold off as long as I think will minimize his anger, but make him responsible for it.
