I’m not very surprised

I am not very surprised but am a little put off.
Not one: not two: but [i]three!![/i] people sent a text saying they’ll be “a little late” because they haven’t made it back from the holiday getaways, “a little late” averaging two hours. But they’re on the way so I don’t need to worry!!!
I’ll hang out here for a few minutes.

So - how’s everything with you?
