Thanks, Esame. I've managed to let go of it. There's nothing I can do to change it anyway. It's true, isn't it? We do have to let go of a lot.

Talked to H a short while ago. There is definitely something going on over there and/or with him. He called in later than usual and was very short, snapped at me over something trivial and was in a really awful mood. He hasn't been like that with me on the phone for quite a while. It didn't make sense to me because we had just sent some very positive feedback to him about a project he's been working on.

After he snapped at me, he started complaining because he needed a beer and couldn't find his opener and left the phone for a minute. By the time he came back, I had gone into STFU mode and just replied to him when necessary. I guess he picked up on that and the difference in my usually pleasant phone voice with him. He apologized, saying he'd had a very frustrating day and he didn't mean to take it out on me.

I replied that everyone has off days and he knows I have them too, so I understand and then I went into "friend" mode. He started to soften and by the end of the conversation he seemed to have calmed down some.

I have no clue what's going on over there but it's obvious something is eating at him big time. He keeps talking about frustrating days, the "worst weekend of my life," and happiness issues but gives no details and I have no intention of asking. Whatever it is, he'll tell me when he wants me to know .... if he wants me to know. And if he does spill the beans, I hope I'm ready to handle whatever it is.

Quite puzzling but, again, out of my control.

Just made my reservation to see Me Before You this weekend. Hope it's enjoyable.

Oh, and my big accomplishment. The Internet went out at the house and after determining that it wasn't a problem with our service, I figured out the issue and fixed it myself. I was so proud of myself last night. It felt really, really good!
