Our heroine takes a little vacation and she comes home to find she's been lockmonstered. Thanks to all the well wishers and the speculators... you guys are the best.
So here is my shiny new thread and it looks great with my tan and pedicure (yes, Sunseeker, if you're reading this, I said PAMPERING!).
I just returned from a luxurious and fortuitous last minute trip south of the border with some generous family and friends.
Unfortunately, Latin lovers remained elusive. But then I didn't actually try to find one. Beach boys make great scenery though... esp. with that ocean backdrop. Margaritas and fine wine, on the other hand, were plentiful. It was a really great trip.
No words from Shoeless H these days... I have built it and well, at least I am here.
That is, other than this weird little interaction before I left:
I sent an email at the beginning of the month thanking him for his help with a server problem I was having. I asked if he has made progress with removing his unregistered vehicle from the driveway (something he was planning to do). No response.
A week later, I emailed asking if there was a reason he had not responded because it seemed odd to ignore a direct question about something like that.
He responded that he "didn't mean to not respond" and "so no, there was no reason." Included a . Said he'd "try and figure it out soon".
Seemed pretty flip to me, though I think I only interpreted it this way 1. because that vehicle has been sitting there since before we were separated and for no good reason. 2. because it gave me an instant flashback of the flip and callous response that he gave when I asked why he'd left the house unlocked with doors open while I was on my last vacation... it's amazing how you think you have forgotten something and it just gets triggered out of seemingly nowhere.
Benefit of doubt being he thought he was being funny, but frankly after 3 years, the vehicle isn't funny to me anymore. And I am so sick of hearing him say he "didn't mean to" do whatever it is he chooses to do or that he will "try" to do something instead of just doing it or that things just "skip his mind". This to me is now like nails on a chalkboard. Which is something I need to get past because sometimes that is legitimate, but right now, there it is.
I didn't make him deal with my little overractions.
I simply responded with of my own and joked that I was wondering because I'm used to people answering questions... and on the more serious note said that I'd appreciate it if he'd choose to make dealing with the vehicle a priority, said I understood that maybe it's not so much on his radar these days, but I'm sure he understands it's still on mine. Also made a joke about the neighbor's cat making this vehicle his house, which he really is doing. No response. (He did not know I was going away, at least not from me.)
Well... the rest of my life is pushing along just fine. But it's back to work on Monday and no one is delivering breakfast in the morning.
