I think so - just wanted to report a small success - those of you who have followed my story will apreciate it.
I called H to ask him a question, and he said he was busy and could he call me back? Normally I would reply in a snotty way, then call back if he hadn't called me within 20 minutes. Well, he called me back an hour or so later, and I hadn't tried to call him! I was pleasant when he said he needed to call back, and pleasant and appreciative when he did. He is slowly chipping away at the financial crisis he was having, and I am really proud of him for that! I need to tell him that. I am so proud of myself for letting HIM call ME back. With how I am feeling right now, it's a major victory. I also told him that I understood if he needed to come over later tonight, and I am working on preparing myself for him either staying the night or leaving. Neither one needs to be a huge crisis.

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
