Your lifesaver story reminds me of Karen Kay's "stupid therapist cookies" last Christmas. If you weren't around, she baked cookies, and then agonized over whether they were acceptable, and whether she should give them, and eventually baked...what?...three batches before she was satisfied with them, and finally gave them to him. And of course, he liked them.
My point is: Aren't we all there at some point? I can't tell you how I've obsessed over what some minor negative expression meant, or been unreasonably happy at some reflex conversational pleasantry. I think it comes with the territory, and isn't silly at all.
And I'm glad that it looks like he finally called you back, even if you weren't there. I think your plan to wait a bit is a good one, but that if you find you can't that would be understandable. He really should have called you back earlier.
