Finally Replied to a Message I Owed Since August
Owed someone a reply since August. Four months, nineteen drafts, one panic nap and an unreasonable amount of ceiling-staring.
Sent it last night. Three lines. They wrote back "no worries". I have been quietly insufferable ever since.
Four months is nothing. I still have a message from last Christmas marked "reply later".
Case closed. Note the outcome: "no worries". It is almost always the outcome.
