My sister and i have had a standing skype date on Sundays at a specific time and yesterday she forgot. My friend, who was suppose to be here for a movie and a pizza last Thursday, didn't show cuz she was "sick". For the next three days something always happened like bad weather, the furniture cleaner came and the vac broke, and she got stuck in Queens. Consequently my clean house, special salad and desert, movie, and excitement at seeing her after a great deal of time just went down the tubes. She never showed. Was soooo apologetic but still didn't show.
I know my sister really did get busy with school, after being in the hospital and missing work (she's a teacher and had to write final reports), needed to do some catch up stuff. Even so, how could she forget such a long standing date?
My friend, I don't know. Maybe she was really tied up in all the stuff she said. I even let her set the times. Or maybe i'm feeling correct she just didn't want to come visit and didn't know how to tell me no.
I have close friends but most of them are on the west coast. My few friends here are friends but not close friends. My one friend moved to The Bronx with her boyfriend and so we don't get together much any more.
Friends are important but it's hard for me to make friends, close friends. I'm particular who i let into my life. It's not been a good week actually. Woe is me. This too shall pass.
This morning though i got an unexpected email from a new friend i met at a dinner a few weeks ago. My cousin and she were classmates at the "Natural Foods Gourmet Institute". We clicked and she is now doing her internship in Texas and we are emailing each other. Nice.
Life is good and then you die.
