If my spiraly insanity is bothering you, please don't read any further! Seriously!
If anyone is still reading at this point....
My bf friend sees a T in the same small office as my T. She told me that she went in and asked today "what happened to (tree's T)"? I can't believe she asked that! Anyhow, the other T had no idea and hadn't heard anything about it. Somehow that made me feel better.
I think I am feeling better now. It was just the initial SHOCK of getting that e-mail from him. That was seriously scary SO deep down.
I hope I can talk to him on the phone tomorrow.
