Your fault for saying yes?

I didn’t say yes, I said “I’ll see if I have bandwidth” which I guess defaults to “hmm they’ll do it eventually so I can dick around”

Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
