I think I am ready to sporadically respond to his texts now Tori

I might send the odd one my Self that may include suggestions of meeting up but they will be on my terms - like the Bond movie was - i.e. something I want to do and ask if he wants to join me.

I don't expect him to txt tonight or tomorrow (as he is hosting visiting scientists). I was going to text this morning that I hoped his meetings went well but then I thought why bother with that.

I have been so GAL that I haven't had time to catch up w everyone's threads recently. But be assured, I am thinking of everyone here. I hope you're doing ok with what you've just experienced. From what I know about you, you will push through this, take a learning point and emerge stronger & wiser.

Thanks to for the baggage reclaim reference. I like her blog. I don't want a text R and will find a way to demonstrate that through actions rather than words. It may work for H but it sure ain't doing it for me.

Thanks for dropping in. I will wait for an opening to say my piece. The time just isn't now and I accept that.

Nice to meet you. Go right ahead. I always say take what you want, leave what you don't.

All good things to those who pass my way
