Interlude #2
My alarm just went off to remind me to get ready for bed :)
TUESDAY 9:02 PM
Good. You’ve got that 7 a.m class tomorrow morning, right?
TUESDAY 9:03 PM
Ugh, yes.
TUESDAY 9:04 PM
Then you’d better get some sleep.
TUESDAY 9:05 PM
But now I want to know how you got interested in construction!
And how you met Juan!
And what happened with that building you said you guys were going to bid on, the eco-friendly one?
TUESDAY 9:06 PM
Ok :) Tomorrow.
TUESDAY 9:07 PM
But… Daddy!!! I just told you my whole thing!
TUESDAY 9:09 PM
Are you whining?
TUESDAY 9:10 PM
No!
Sorry.
I’ll be good and go get ready for bed.
Even though my roommates kind of make fun of me since I’m usually in bed by 10 now like an old man.
No offense. ;)
TUESDAY 9:12 PM
??????????
Are you calling me old?
TUESDAY 9:13 PM
Nooooooooo
TUESDAY 9:14 PM
And are you still exhausted during the day, or do you have enough energy to keep up with your schoolwork now, so you can get the grades you need for veterinary school?
TUESDAY 9:15 PM
Um, the second one.
You’re right.
Thank you, Daddy.
TUESDAY 9:16 PM
You’re welcome, sweetheart. It’s my pleasure to help.
TUESDAY 9:17 PM
It’s my pleasure to, uh, be helped?
I mean, sorry. That sounded weird.
Just
I appreciate being, um, friends with you, Daddy. And all the time you take for me. It’s really nice of you, and I just really like it so, thank you?
TUESDAY 9:20 PM
Is that a question? ;)
TUESDAY 9:21 PM
OMG no! I mean THANK YOU!!! :D
TUESDAY 9:22 PM
??????????
You’re welcome, baby boy. Truly. Now… go get ready for bed.
And I really like it, too :)
TUESDAY 9:23 PM
:)
TUESDAY 9:55 PM
Good night, Daddy.
TUESDAY 9:56 PM
Good night, sweetheart -xo
MAY 16
THURSDAY 3:07 PM
Hey Daddy, um, I know you’re probably still working but I just got home from school and Ryan said there’s water in the garage and I think it’s coming from the hot water heater?
And that is a question, because it’s not pouring out or anything, so I’m not sure, but it seems like it’s mostly over there.
And I know I should call a plumber but the house account is almost empty because I just sent in the property tax payment and I looked up some YouTube videos but I’m not sure what to do.
So I know you do big building constructions not, like, put in water heaters, but I didn’t know if
If you could tell me what to do.
I’m not sure what to do.
Can we still take showers, do you think?
If you don’t know, that’s ok. I’ll keep looking up stuff online.
Sorry.
THURSDAY 3:20 PM
Hi sweetheart, I’m sure I can help you figure it out. Can you send me a picture?
THURSDAY 3:21 PM
Yes!
Thank you!!!
THURSDAY 3:22 PM
Good boy. I’m proud of you for asking for help.
THURSDAY 3:23 PM
I’m not bothering you?
THURSDAY 3:24 PM
I believe we’ve had this conversation before, haven’t we?
THURSDAY 3:24 PM
Yes, Daddy
THURSDAY 3:25 PM
And?
THURSDAY 3:26 PM
And I’m not a bother.
THURSDAY 3:27 PM
That’s right :) What are you?
THURSDAY 3:28 PM
Um
A pest?
THURSDAY 3:29 PM
??????????
No.
What are you, sweetheart?
THURSDAY 3:30 PM
Ugh, don’t make me write the things you say!
I mean, not because they’re bad!!! They’re not. They’re
They’re really nice.
But I can’t write that about myself.
THURSDAY 3:32 PM
Ok, baby boy. Then let’s work on this water heater situation. But just so we’re clear, you are the best part of my day, every day. And I’m very, very glad you reached out to me when you needed help.
THURSDAY 3:33 PM
Thank you, Daddy
I don’t know what to say to all that. No one’s ever said anything like that to me before. But I
I don’t know what to say.
THURSDAY 3:34 PM
That’s ok, sweetheart. You don’t have to say anything at all. Now, send me the picture.
THURSDAY 3:34 PM
Ok
MAY 18
SATURDAY 10:00 AM
Is the garage still dry this morning, baby boy?
SATURDAY 10:11 AM
Yes!
I think?
Um, yes.
Thank you :)
SATURDAY 10:12 AM
Good
I still want you to get a plumber in to look at it.
SATURDAY 10:15 AM
I will! I had to pay for some assessment thing this month, but hopefully soon.
MAY 26
SUNDAY 9:35 PM
I’m super nervous about the final tomorrow, but Tyler and I are going to that pizza place after we take it as a reward… and I told him we have to order a salad, too.
He is *not* excited about that part, LOL.
(But I’m still going to do it, and I’ll send you a pic!)
SUNDAY 9:37 PM
??????????
Good boy ;)
And I think you’ll do just fine on the final. You know all the material, you’ll be well-rested, and pizza is a great incentive.
Especially if it’s artisan ;)
SUNDAY 9:38 PM
Ha! It is. Tyler said if he doesn’t bomb the final, he’s going to take it as a sign and finally ask the hot waitress out.
SUNDAY 9:39 PM
And what about you? Do you have a reward like that planned too, sweetheart?
SUNDAY 9:40 PM
Yes. Salad.
SUNDAY 9:42 PM
??????????
SUNDAY 9:43 PM
But actually, um, I’m not into the hot waitresses there. I haven’t really wanted to date anyone since my ex-girlfriend broke up with me after Christmas.
I mean, not that it was super painful or anything, but I just haven’t wanted to.
SUNDAY 9:44 PM
Then you shouldn’t. Not until you’re ready.
SUNDAY 9:45 PM
Is that another rule?
SUNDAY 9:46 PM
A suggestion.
SUNDAY 9:47 PM
I don’t mind if you make it a rule, LOL.
Sorry, that sounds weird. I just mean that, um, I’m having a salad tomorrow because of your green vegetable rule, and I don’t even mind that Tyler makes fun of me because… I like making you proud of me?
I don’t know what I’m trying to say. I know dating isn’t a salad.
But I’d even eat more salads if you told me to.
(But please don’t tell me to.)
I should go to bed.
SUNDAY 9:50 PM
You should. And I am proud of you.
SUNDAY 9:52 PM
Thank you, Daddy.
Good night, Daddy.
SUNDAY 9:55 PM
Good night, sweetheart -xo
