Well...it is 1:20 a.m. and I can’t sleep. Didn’t hear from TDH all Friday and then Saturday morning got a text “Crazy night...”. So I texted him back and asked if he was going to call me or just send me “drive-by texts” which is the nickname I have given his one line seemingly pointless texts that he sends randomly throughout the day. Anyway...he didn’t respond so I sent him another one asking him to call me. An hour later, I’m irritated so I did what I have promised myself numerous times I wouldn’t do and sent him a text that basically said that I thought it was rude that he hadn’t called me yet and that if I were him and he was me, I would have called him the first chance I had, apologized profusely for cancelling last minute and then talk to him about a possible Plan B.
So after I had calmed down and returned to my normal self, I realized that I have no idea how bad things were with his son since it sounds like it affected his evening too and I had come across like a needy person with no life. I mean, if this was a friend of mine who had had to cancel, I would have been like “no problem” and just made other plans. But this triggered something in me I didn’t know was there and I am feeling like a total idiot. Anyway, I sent an apology text an hour later (he didn’t answer my call...gee why?) but pretty sure the damage was done as I haven’t heard from him at all and I don’t expect to. I wasn’t overly rude in my text but I was definitely lectury (probably to a word) and finger-wagging which is, as we know, highly unattractive.
KML I usually have the same rule as you about not talking too long before meeting. I have followed it with every one I have met this time around except for TDH because of how far apart we live. I had jokingly said when the whole thing with his nephew came up that it gave me one more week for him to like me more. I forgot that it did the same for me and now I’m paying for it.
Anyway...XH was going to keep our kids until Tuesday but I texted him that my weekend plans fell through and that he could bring them back earlier if he needed to and that I would welcome the distraction. So he texted back that he was sorry my plans fell through and that he could bring them back Sunday night after dinner. I have the next two weeks off so am hoping to make some staycation plans with them for this week. The following week, I have plans to go to Vancouver one night for my pool team reunion. Totally psyched about that. It will be great to see those guys.
(((HUGS))) to all. I hope your weekends turned out way better than mind.
