After re-reading my post I can see how you would get -71 out of that - damn minus sign!
So I sent Barbara a short "hello hope you are have a nice day" email this morning mentioning absolutely nothing about getting together. She responded back about an hour later saying she was going to have to bow out of this weekend. She has too much going on with her daughter and girlfriends. It was a nice email - not short and blunt. She gave me some details about what she had planned, how busy her life has been these past 3 weeks and some other stuff. It was a good email I think. Plus when she said she is bowing out of "this weekend" I find that a positive in that she simply isn't bowing out completely. Bottomline - I am taking consistent doses of chill pills and I'm going to stop thinking so much!!!
This weekend I'm playing golf on Saturday morning. I am thinking of going to the CAPs hockey game Saturday night and then on Sunday I'm going to head over to a friends house to help him repair some drywall in his basement. My plan is to stay busy busy busy and forget the fact that I turned 55 on Thursday!
Today I am enjoying a self-induced day off, since I can't take tomorrow or Friday off due to some mandatory meetings I have to attend.
