Here on Earth

Well...he always figures a way to disappoint me. We leave Friday for the trip. Still cannot believe I am going and that he won't back out.

Remember, this jackass has left me high and dry before.

So, an hour before I am to meet him at the local ski rental place. I get a text--stating he can't make it this evening....I ask when, if not this evening (as my heart sank into my stomach--waiting for the blow off)? We text back and forth...he is excited I am going...I tell him I am off to buy mittens at the same ski rental place.

He then texts me back and says, now they are all going to meet there (everyone that is who needs to rent prior to the trip). Weird? Of course...what else is new with this person.

He calls me as I pull up to the lot--again telling me how excited he is and that i will be saving him from some of the other people who are going on the trip. He says we'll sneak off and go do other things without everyone. And I by the way, am looking at this as though I am his buddy.

He then says, he'll be at the ski place in 30 minutes and I need to "act" like I am coincidentally there. Huh? Ruh Roh?!

His son was coming with him to the store. His kids and ex-wife were originally supposed to go as a "family" trip to the snow, but a series of reasons made it impossible for all of them to go...along with the fact that his ex-wife never wanted to go in the first place. BUT, his son was not to know, because you see....he would feel I was displacing him and then if the whole family knew, they would have questions about "me". I had met his kid when I dated him last year and so, now I was put into "awkward-ville'.

Not happy and feeling weird. I interacted with everyone in such a weird way....and one of them who knows me, commented to me how "stupid" it was that we were playing like we accidentally ran into each other.

I left....he sent me a text looking for me, he had no idea I had already gone and was on my way to H's house. He tells me they ended up not renting, and were going to wait til we got to our ski destination. WHATEVER! I would say it is all for naught, but he gave me two hundred dollars to buy some things I needed.

I wonder if I'll actually make it on this trip? Or if there will come a bail out point within the next 36 hours?
