Agreed on little things. Sometimes, though, it's hard for me to tell the difference. What is no big deal to me might be catastrophic to another, and vice versa.
By way of example, I was on my way to see New Dude last night, driving my car in the cold for the first time after being out of town for 12 days. We had planned a nice night together. I, however, wound up on the side of the road with a dead battery. Got home safely and sorted out the problem, but then today I had an early appointment across town and he had to work a double. We have totally opposite schedules. I require a little more closeness and effort.
I do hope we can make it work. I have a little more flexibility with my schedule - not much but enough. Maybe we can take some time off to relax away from all of this soon for a nice weekend. My birthday is coming up and I'd like that.

We'll see what happens.
