An update and some thoughts… Received the replies back from H the other day to my e-mails regarding the XM radio and mortgage.

On XM radio, I thought I gave H a way out… Meaning he could get his own account and not deal with me anymore… He replied back with some numbers that he did his own research for… And then he said “Maybe you could bring this up when you talk to them. I would rather pay yearly if possible.” After this, I looked at my numbers again and realized that miss-quoted him. I replied back with the correct numbers and said that next time I will call for a renewal I will mention the prices he gave me. His e-mail is extremely polite.

Then there was another e-mail about the mortgage. Sooo… I was absolutely wrong anticipating H to be angry, etc. His e-mail was very nice, again. He politely asked me to scan and e-mail a copy of the trust documents (I have the originals). Then he said “It kind of [censored] this happened last summer and we didn't hear about it until now. I would appreciate it if you could do this.” At the end he said “P.S. The alternative is to mail down the copy you have.” So, last time I saw him he told me that he will start working on the condo being transferred to his name, and now he want the copy of the paper work and not the originals. Go figure…

In one of the e-mails H asked me to text when I send important e-mails to him, as he is not checking them often (as I thought.)

I replied to this e-mail too and said that I would take the documents to work and scan them. I also explained why I didn’t realize that the payment was made last July, but I only discovered it now. I mentioned that this mortgage company is not very consistent (sometimes I get the statements with different info, for example the Pre-payment penalty was listed as “Yes” a couple of time, when other times it shows “No”.) I also said that I would not do the business with this mortgage company again, if I have a choice, and that I hope that the escrow issue will get resolved promptly.

I received a reply from him on this, with “I agree , they have been a pain in the ass. I will get working on this promptly.” Wow… I don’t think I ever received a reply like that from him after the BD. I might be wrong… But, I totally did not anticipate any response.

I texted to him yesterday, saying that I sent him a couple of e-mails, but there was nothing urgent yet. And that I would scan and e-mail him the documents ASAP.

I got an immediate reply back with Thank you.

I scanned the documents and e-mailed them this morning. Then I sent H a text informing him that I e-mailed the documents to him. Again, he replied right away that he got them.

Other updates… I went to a Super Bawl party with my GF on Sunday. There were a couple more people who I knew. We had a lot of fun.

This Monday was my son’s B-day. I left him a message, since he didn’t pick up his phone – he went snowboarding with his friend. He called me back later in the evening, thanking me for the message and told me that H called him as well and left a voice mail (since son was in the shower at the time of the call.) Two things that came as a surprise to me in this… First, that my son told me about this (I didn't ask...). And second, that H CALLED him. I might be wrong, but I think H sent a text to my son last year. This year he was “brave” enough to actually make a phone call, LOL.

And… there is a card from H addressed to my son and his GF… I guess he really thought about their B-days this year (GF's B-day was two days before my son’s B-day.)

I’m not sure what’s going on… and why H is so extremely polite and nice. As I mentioned in my precious post, I totally anticipated an angry response about the mortgage. He did a complete opposite… I’m trying really hard to not get my hopes up. And, at the same time thinking if there are any hidden reasons for his niceness that I don’t know about…

My thoughts… It seems like H doesn’t really want to cut these last ties that he has with me. I can understand the condo and the mortgage (since these are some complicated issues), but XM radio and car insurance should be very simple to handle, right… Still, he prefers to stay “connected”.

I have a busy week so far. Went to a couple of lunches with different people at work. Planning another outing with some of these people this Friday. My sister is having a dinner party to celebrate a few B-days (including hers) this Saturday. Plus, I have another small project started with the company I’ve being doing some work for as a consultant.

Sorry for the long post again. I was just too tired and exhausted to update in the last few days, as the events unfolded.
