OK, I am very proud of the way I have handled myself today. Let me elaborate....

J and I were supposed to have dinner tonight (haven't seen eachother in 3 weeks). I was feeling very anxious about it. Well, he emailed me this morning to let me know that he probably wouldn't be able to make it. The guy he works with was sick yesterday and J was afraid he would have to cover for him again tonight, which meant working until midnight.

At first I was P.O.'d, I mean, I had bought the groceries to make dinner and everything, and we hadn't seen eachother in a long time. I also worried that he was lying, but he doesn't lie, so....I took the high road and accepted a lunch date tomorrow, well, he also asked me about (in addition to lunch Friday), Sunday dinner. I told him that lunch would be fine, but that I already had plans for Sunday (I really do), and that we would have to do a makeup dinner next week, and that I think the food will make it til then, and that I was going to have a girls' night tonight, so not to work too hard, I'd catch him tomorrow afternoon.

I am so proud of how I played that. SO Proud. He responded really well : )

Very good. You're starting to learn.

Trust me I had to learn how to handle things also. Its gets difficult when I get impatient, but I tear through it.

We live and we learn.

Things are sounding promising for you.

Remember to stay patient and to let things roll.

Good luck.
