I used to e-mail my T and just say "Hi, I need to connect, are you there?". It was okay with him, and it helped me to be able to reach out without having to have a "reason". Wanting to connect was reason enough.

For me, reaching out this late on a Sunday would probably create stress, though, because he'd probably be off the computer for the day, and I wouldn't get a response and end up wishing I hadn't reached out. But I REALLY get how hard it is to wait when the desire to reach out is so strong.

Would it help to read an old e-mail from him? That used to help me sometimes.

I'm glad you reached out here
