I asked, because I have totally forgotten to call my mother when I've told her I would (and she's forgotten me), even though it is somethign we're usually terrific about remembering.

Sometimes, when we're leaving her cottage, she'll ask me to ring her when we get home, because we've pretty much got the five people she loves best in the world, in one car. I totally understand that, and am usually very good about it, to the point that if traffic is unusually heavy, I'll call and warn her that she'll hear from us much later than she expected.

There have been times I've forgotten, and we haven't gone right home, either. I'm just offering that up to you, because people do make mistakes. That might be the most consistent thing about people. But if you're already not happy, or still not comfortable relating with him, it's probably not going to matter how/why he forgot.

Beverly, your thoughts are my feelings.

I really just can't explain it one more time. I don't want to be angry and blaming, but jeez, I just can't think of what else to say.

He has said that he is sorry. (He called three times but I made myself out of the house all day) But, while I appreciated the apology, it made no difference at all. It just didn't matter. Which felt odd too.

Also?

LILTY!!!!! I was thinking about you over Christmas. I can't remember what brought you to mind, but I was specifically wondering if we'd ever see you here, ever again.

I'm afraid that this bizarre 'forgetting' is a pendulum swing away from how great things have been for the last two weeks. Just. can't. be. happy. without stirring something up.

That sounds like something he might be able to grow out of in time, but I'm obviously not the one in the relationship with him... so I'll just say that I hope everything works out for the best. For you, that is. Fella's on his own.

New!Roomate has a router hooked up but because she runs a business has security things going on and my laptop just doesn't want to recognize it.

Ack. That's way beyond my expertise of doing what the pictures on the laptop screen tell me to do. Unless you want me to kick your roomie out. I can do that! (Easy for me to say from all the way over here.)

ION, my appetite can cool it any time now. I think all of this snow is bringing out my bulk up for hibernation tendencies.

Hi Cindy!!!!!! I've thought about everyone a lot lately and I can't for the life of me think why I was away. I think while I was living at home I just ducked out of a lot. (For no particularly good reason.) But I missed y'all!

---

You have been missed, too. Do you have a LiveJournal, or anything? Ack. I have to run. Cookies are ready. I will check back in the a.m.

Cindy, I honestly, sincerely understand about simply forgetting...especially if it is an expected behavior.

Fela never lets me know when he gets home...in this case, it was an imperative based on very specific issues = extreme tiredness and rain on the road.

When I saw him at the office, he seemed to not get at all why I could possibly be upset...making noises like I was wrong...later he gave an abject apology, but in the next message said basically, "Well I said I was sorry"...as if that made it okay.

---

It just didn't matter. Which felt odd too.

I've had that happen. I try and try and try to work things out and then suddenly I just hit a wall and I'm done.

I was specifically wondering if we'd ever see you here, ever again.

Speaking of - has anyone heard from Katie Bee? I miss seeing her font!

I'm afraid the answer is no.

I'm sorry, Beej. But you seemed to answer that really clearly and without much reservation. Maybe that really is the right answer for you.

I asked, because I have totally forgotten to call my mother when I've told her I would (and she's forgotten me), even though it is somethign we're usually terrific about remembering.

Most of my "mom will want to know I am there safely" consists of flying these days. So now she tracks my flights. I generally turn my phone on while we are taxiing and get a text from her welcoming me to whereever I am. Because the computer told her I've landed. Helpful when dealing with delayed flights especially.

I've been reading severals days of posts, so I'm afeared of missing lots and lots in a recap. But I've been thinking appropriate thoughts for you all as I've read.

I will throw out a "Smonster!" and a "Lilty!" since I haven't seen either of you over here in yonks. So good to see you both.

That's hard, Beej. I hope you get things sorted to your satisfaction.
