A few days later, beginning of December, on a Saturday morning, she emailed me to see if I was going to be around for the weekend and what would be a good time to call. I emailed back on Sunday morning to call me any time early Sunday evening.
I didn't hear back, so 11 days later, I emailed saying just checking in didn't hear from you. She emailed me 3 days later apologizing stating that her uncle and nephew had Covid and she was also busy with XMAS stuff and asked how I was doing. I emailed back I was home if she wanted to call me and then never heard from her again.
What happened? I was hoping to be friends or just talk. Why email me then never follow up. Now I feel like a fool and an idiot. Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

You do not have her phone number?
Anyway, this stuff sounds like to me like - just a thought of mine - you'd maybe benefit from looking into your own motives here. Ask yourself, why you'd like to be friends with an old ex. Maybe there is something you'd like to emotionally process about the relationship. There is no need to talk with the ex about that however, if that's the motive. Also ask yourself, what makes you want to get in contact with her now and not earlier? Only you can know the motives and reasons, and then if you thought about all this, you can decide better what actions to take or not take.
