Nooooot a great day, you guys. But it ended well.
…A walk to separate the “work” day, from the “life” part.
…Rehearsal, to side-track and refocus a little “purpose” and “joy.”
…And a two hour conversation with a new “old” friend.
It’s funny what happens when you try to condense and catch up ten years of time in one conversation. Almost impossible. You end up laughing lots. And getting suddenly very real about things. More “real” than the more conservative you, is usually comfortable with. But for some reason, in this case, it’s okay.
…Which is really nice, from where I sit right now. If I’m telling the truth.
Sometimes it is exhausting to be so protective and conniving. Today is one of those days. So, possibly, they planned the call really, really well…and it was fate. Or I’ll never hear from them again. It might be a toss up. I dunno. But for two hours, we managed to air some grievances, and voice some frustrations, and laugh at some jokes…and there are worse things that people who haven’t spoken in a decade could do.
I think.
…I’m still pretty new at this.
Anyway…a short post. Lots of ellipses. It’s been one of those days, But, most of my daily writing therapy went into an actual “person” today…no need to burden it all on you, now.
Suffice it to say…I think I’ll break the 3-day anti-sleeping record tonight, and dream of better things. Or at least funnier ones.
…And Mrs. Johnson will behave herself…because the two glasses of wine I just consumed, pretty much require it.
…And I might feel a little squirrely and happy in “possibility” ways…like a ridiculous teenager. Which I’m gonna say is totally fine, and also, “good for me!”
Good for me!
…And it is.
…Because I am entirely too predictable as a human being. Even The BFF says so. So, here I am, mixing shit up and being TOTALLY random! God, she would be so proud of me right now!
Yep.
Yep.
…Yep.
That’s all I’ve got to offer tonight.
Short.
Sweet.
Simple.
…Sweet.
Huh. Now there’s a change.
