So I’ve been neglecting my little blog and I apologize for that. Life has gotten a little hectic, but I’ve been saving a story from last week, and it’s time to get that blogged and processed. As stated in earlier posts, last Wednesday was my birthday. I turned 27, which actually seems old to me. The day ended up being a little strange. My parents left for Florida that morning, leaving me to care for my 15 year old sister for 2 weeks. She’s a good kid, I don’t have any concerns for taking care of her, but it did mean that I had to move back into my parents’ home for these 2 weeks, since they live about 45 minutes away from me. It also meant that aside from lunch with a co-worker/good friend, and hibachi with my sisters, all birthday celebrations have been put off until I can have my whole family present.
So Tuesday night I’m chatting with Mr. Whirlwind, and the conversation took some interesting turns. I ended up telling him that my birthday was the next day and that he should do something nice for me. He then stated that he would like to take me to dinner later in the week in celebration, and I rearranged my plans in order to make that dinner work. While rearranging my plans I did note that I’d be particularly upset if Mr. Whirlwind decided to disappoint me, since I’m going the extra mile to make the plans that he proposed work.
The night before our dinner plans we were up late chatting, and I get the usual ramblings on how he misses me, cannot wait to see me again, and has been thinking of me constantly. I stated that it’s a good thing that we will see each other the next day then. His reply read “easier said than done.” He goes on to say that we might potential get together, but that he had been waiting to “run errands and stuff” with a friend, and the friend finally made time for these errands the night that we had made plans. Needless to say, I’m able to call that for the bullshit it is. I’m generally a very easy going person, but I’m not stupid. I also made it very clear that I was hurt and that I wish he would have said something earlier as I had given up other plans for him.
Friday was full of apology, and him needing reassurance that I wasn’t angry with him. Really? How would I not be angry over that? I have been very understanding of the fact that he has personal stuff going on right now that he needs to sort through, and that he just isn’t able to commit at all for the time being. I’m fine with that, but I will insist on being treated with respect. He went out of his way Friday and Saturday to be all sweet and flirty, but now the moodiness is setting in again, and our dinner has not yet been rescheduled. I believe it may be time for a little talk tonight. This could certainly get interesting.
