Ok...it's bad. He's upset...rightfully so. I just...I just couldn't deal with it then. It was too big.
Okay, what you posted of what he said later on, doesn't read as upset to me as it probably reads to you. He's letting you know the expectations. That's fair enough.
I feel like I need to respond, and soon. But, I wasn't going to deal with this till tomorrow. I don't know what to do.
What will make you feel better? Here are some of what I can see for your choices:
- You can wait until tomorrow. This only works if you can put it out of your head until then.
- You can send a short note saying something along the lines of:
I was absent due to illness. I'm still working on it with my healthcare provider. I am sorry I let you down. Thank you for clarifying your expectations. I hope to address this with you further, when I'm feeling better.
- You can send a longer note, and tell him whatever you think he needs to know (I wouldn't opt for this right now, because you're still getting yourself back on track right now)
Ditto on Sparky's note. Everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone tries to make it right and since you will, he'll forgive and move on.
Thank you for the link, Plei!!! I haven't been to LUSH in a while.
I'm holding my co-workers adorable black chihuahua mix in my lap right now AIFG!
I am sorry I did not notify you of the situation . Please pass on my apolgizes to the class.
that's what I would add to sparky's note.
Ok...e-mail sent. I'll see if I hear anything back. Otherwise, I'll send him something more tomorrow, after I've talked with my therapist.
ION, beef stew is started and soon to make cake for the celebration of Matt's birthday. His birthday isn't until Sunday, but tonight is the Niles art walk. On art walk night we usally do dinner with friends so I decided to make it a mini celebration.

I call I get to hold him next!!
kicks distance in between me and that doggie!
last post was a delayed xpost. vw, I think Sparky's note rocked. And I always think you do.
Cindy, I did a mix of both notes. I liked them both.
You're doing well, you know. I mean to an outsider. You're facing difficult things, even while you're still trying to get your bearings. I'm so proud of you.
vw, I think you should just walk away from the email for now. You've done what you can today w/r/t this situation, and you should try to give yourself a break from it until tomorrow.
