Been pondering this afternoon's conversation on and off, as I came home from it in a very odd, almost tearful mood. It's been a strange week, there's no doubt about that, but it's not been nearly as stressful as I thought it might have been, though there have seen some surprises. It's definitely been a week for sorting out who your friends really are.
One of the odd things about the last two years or so is the number of people I've known well in different parts of my life, who all now live in close proximity to where I currently live. I'd been putting off having a conversation with the person I went to see this afternoon, but couldn't do so any longer.
I've been aware for quite a while that this particular friendship hasn't been one of the most helpful in recent times. Some of that is easily accountable for, but this afternoon emphasised how much things have changed, and I think it's time to let this one quietly go. We used to be able to chatter about almost anything, but I find myself no longer wanting to do that with this person any more.
Still, I was reminded of one thing this afternoon... the best way to "manage" me is not to try!!
I am also adamant I do not need a pet, of any variety.
