I've been facing a family crisis in the past 8 or 10 days, one about which I choose not to go into great detail here. Suffice to say, it's big and we're handling it, and it will be a long road to "OK," but we will get there. It's got to do with my son, and we've got lots of support from extended family and the school and all, so it's much less awful than it's got potential to have been.
I got a flirty email and text message one day last week from one of the tech guys from my fall conference, from whom I haven't heard in awhile. The text was of the "hey what're you wearing?" variety and the email was the slightly more innocuous "hey, just wanted to see how things are going!" sort. I threw all caution social propriety to the wind.
Having a bit of a tough time lately, actually. Yesterday we had to [insert brief, matter of fact description of medical issue]. I'll get back with you when I can be cute again ;-)
Not surprisingly, his response was (not in so many words, I'm paraphrasing madly) "Wow, look at the time! Gotta go, and, uh good luck with that!"
Heh.
