Friends

Berniece moved away... As suspected, I feel like my arm fell off.  (Sidenote, if you've never seen Sometimes A Great Notion, you should).  I had to leave for a planned trip on the 11th and she wasn't leaving until the 14th so we met for lunch on the 11th.  I felt all morning like I was going to a funeral.  I had already cried so much about it, I didn't think I could cry any more, but I did.  I told her I loved her and to be careful and I can hardly write this without tearing up again.  She made it across the country with her Mom and Sister.  I'm jealous of their road trip.  I'm so glad she made it safely though.

Our trip was fun and we were with other friends so that made it a little easier.  But when I got home, she's not here.  Now I think she's in the middle of Tropical Storm Debby.  She'd better not die or I'm going to be real ticked off.

I think The Boy's girlfriend felt sorry for me because she asked me to go hiking this past weekend.  We did and we had fun.  It was nice to talk with her one on one for once.  She's no Berniece, but she'll do for now.  No one can replace Berniece.

Today, I found out that a friend I work with has been doing something inappropriate and will most likely lose her job.  The thing that she did makes me not want to be friends with her.  It's hard because it's a shock and I don't understand why she did this thing and it makes me question the rest of what I thought I knew about her.  It's hard to just let go of the friend feeling.

I'm starting to think that I'll only be friends with my husband from now on.  It's easiest.
