Well H didn't respond the day after my "nothing new here" message.
On Friday I had an exciting event, the new rowing club that I advise got its first lesson from an out of town coach and the team actually got out on the water and rowed for the first time. This is after two years of nursing this club along, purchasing its first rowing shell, and all equipment. S4 and I got an impromptu ride out in the coach's motorboat and watched the brand new rowers. It was less than 40 degrees and had been snowing on and off for three days, but these guys actually got on the water and toughed it out. I was so proud!! S4 and I snuck ashore early though.
So I emailed H a three sentence email about it, since he bought one of the club's T-Shirts. It has been a big joke that I advise a rowing club, but the club doesn't actually row. Well, now that joke is done!
H responded to that one and said he had just worn the T-Shirt the day before. Then he asked about how S4 liked the boat ride and some other question I can't remember. I thought about answering his questions for a while, then decided if I'm really DBing here, I am trying my change for at least 2 weeks to see if it makes a difference. So far there's been no difference in H's response. No phone call again last weekend. But it's only been a week. Actually, I think I would have to commit to this change of not responding to his emails immediately for at least a month. H is a hermit who shuns communication sometimes.
Well, on Saturday, a package came in the mail for S4 with no return address. It was the Charlie Brown holiday movies. Instead of responding to any of H's questions in his email, I decided just to email back a one sentence question of my own asking if he had sent the movies. He responded the next day, saying "yes."
And there it sits. No phone calls from H last weekend again, no more emails this morning. It burns me how he has no desire to call. But I have my own things to focus on today.
Focus, focus, focus...
Weigtloss & Fitness: Today I need to stay out of the candy dishes and eat what I packed. I bought a new scale last weekend and it weighed me in as 7 lbs less than I expected to be! Haven't weighed myself in a while, but I'll take it. Just 15 lbs to go to my goal.
Be Present at Work: I have lots to get done this week. Last weeks deadlines were extended to the end of this week, so after I'm off this board I need to GET ON TASK.
My Book: Tonight my mom is watching S4 again and I need to go to the library or coffee shop and reconfigure my first chapter for my writing group.
So today...my food-not the candy dishes, stay on task at work, first chapter tonight.
