I was out yesterday - horrible cough, sinus stuff etc. that I went to the doctor for - we talked briefly yesterday and he kept asking if I was going to be here today etc....he even said he missed me (which for him is impressive!) - the first thing I did yesterday after calling my boss was call his voicemail and tell him what was going on so he wouldn't worry (H was home with me so I told him not to call the house) - anyway, so today, he's not here and I haven't heard a word. I know he can't call me if his g/f is home so it's really killing me - I keep wondering is he sick? is he ok? or is just taking a day off b/c it's beautiful outside??

We're supposed to have lunch tomorrow and now I just found out that I have to take someone that is coming in from out of town out to lunch - so that means we don't get any time together this week at all - I know, pity party, I hate this.

My only hope is for after work tomorrow - hopefully we can swing that!

I am going stir crazy waiting for my phone to ring!!!

I know - it does suck! Nope, no cell phone. I did leave a message on his voicemail here at the office - just a casual - hey, how are ya and where the heck are ya today - he checks his vm from home sometimes b/c that's the only way we can get messages to each other during the weekend.

*sigh* I guess I could do some actual work!!

I got a voicemail!!

He said he just took the day off and "I'll talk to you later, okay" - that's pretty much it.

He was being REALLY quiet - I had to listen to it a few times before I got what he said, but it's good to know he's thinking of me.

I've been sitting here all day and the minute I get up and away from my desk he calls!

LOL - I feel better now!

Hey ts,


I too can relate... most of my contact with MM is through the work day in our emails... while these days I don't stress too much if one doesn't come through on time... knowing he's flat out or in a meeting or something like that... but when it does get a little late... my mind starts to wander.


Actually had a couple of examples this week... Monday... his internet connection at work was down... and by lunch time I had not heard from him and thought it strange... just after lunch I get a text message on my mobile to let me know why he hasn't emailed... and if by chance he does take a day off he will message me to let me know... I love that he thinks of me.


Also this week... I think he got a little confused... On Tuesday I sent him a big long email and by 2.30 still nothing!! I'm beginning to worry... getting pissed off... you name it... just having a bad day.

did he say why he took the day off? Is it possible he was being so quiet because his girlfriend had the day off too?

I just talked to him (in person!) this morning and he said he feels much better - he just really needed a day off - and I asked if he got some sleep and he said - no that he went fishing!! so even though his g/f was off yesterday (she works retail and has odd hours) - he went fishing with his buddy....that's why I didn't hear from him until late in the day - he was on the darn lake!!

he kept looking down at my shirt (read: chest!) while we were talking - hmmmm, wonder what he was thinking!!!

thanks for putting up with my mini panic attack yesterday.

We've all gone thru those days where you don't hear anything. And especially if you had plans that fell thru for that day, it can definitely make you panic!! You just have to go with the flow.

Its all part of the package. And you have to deal with it. I've gone through alot of broken dates, Sh** happens, what can you do? Just knowing he will make it up the next time we're together, makes it all worth it !!
