It's forgiven. I just don't want him to forget.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn, aurelia! That's like storybook apology. Now, he shouldn't be making you miserable in the middle of the night, but given that--way to go to pull it out of the fire. This is the point at which most of the guys at work would say "wife." Because men cannot socially function with adults (read: women).

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That's a good apology! Even I would forgive.

I could see the gift card being a suggestion from the girlfriend, but I'm willing to attribute the apology note to him.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Best. Apology. Evah.
I may or may not have taken one of Kato's tramadol pills when I had a terrible migraine that my regular migraine meds had no effect on.
I may or may not have done something similar. And called Cass and said loopy things.

That is a good apology, but still annoying.
I have another off-site training. If I don't go, then the 15 kids who were conditional placements into college english will have to take remedial english instead. Way to pressure me, Cal State system.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Even so, he is willing to either seek advice on how to make things right or knows enough to take advice when it is offered. I gotta think even if his mom or girlfriend gave him very specific marching orders, if he did not realize the value of what she said, he would have worked in a grudging, backhanded apology.

I am damn tired. I just taped a note to his door that says "Apology accepted. Thank you for the gift card." And with that I think I need to go to bed.

Because books.
I think that's a perfect way to end it.

I need adult supervision. I just re-jacked my ankle. Not as badly, but the difference now is that extending past the range of motion makes me scream and cry.
It was the same thing--leg numb, tried to move, overcommitted, flexed the joint nonconcensually and a shooting burning pain up the outsode of the bandage.
So, to bed, with an icepack and a bandage, and a bit of self--pity.
