i’m sorry. you’re just so kind and generous and understanding and i can hear how lonely you are. i love you and i miss you and i think about you all the time. everyone asks about you. i ran into Dawn the other day at Great Clips.

i finally have a short haircut i like.

i have a little less stress at work now that we have a new person.

i am dealing better with letting go of the adolescents and adults in my life whom i can’t rescue from their own demons.

the biggest thing needed to keep us in touch again is (this is going to sound so incredibly stupid) i need to memorize your phone number.

so i will. because otherwise i don’t remember i want to call you till late at night. and by then the computer is busy or i need to get to bed or any number of things distract me. and when i remember again it’s the exact worse time.

the other thing is, right after you moved it seemed like every time i tried to call you i couldn’t reach you. the phone was busy or i would get voice mail. so i kind of quit trying because i couldn’t get it right and it was so frustrating.

i have a mobile again with free nights (post 9pm MN) and weekends. if you can just call around 7pm your time and remind me, i’ll call you right back.

thank you for reaching out. i actually have to go to bed tonight and i have a crazy day planned for tomorrow. but i’m going to spend five minutes working on the memorization right now.
