So, following the rules – deafening silence all day. Until 8:55pm, asking about my well-being.  Gotcha! Which is nice but my sms are only concerned with plans and no sms will be answered after 9pm. 3 sms is the cut off point, chat-wise: if no plans have been mentioned within 3 sms then no more sms will be sent in that conversation. This is easy and actually makes sense! Tough love here – no time in 5 mins to send 3 sms so no sms tonight for me!
