Interesting Day
So… today has been an interesting day. Actually, it’s been an interesting 24 hours. There have been an extremely large variation in emotions.
For instance:
Yesterday, 6:30pm- I found out my best friend and her man are getting a dog (I am a HUGE dog person, so this is super good news). After our mutual squeals of glee subside, there is mention of the fact that we will have to socialize our dogs, because they have to be best friends just like we are. JOY!
Yesterday, 7:00pm- I arrived at my boyfriend’s place to make dinner and have a cuddle in front of the tv. I find him very worried about a meeting he has this morning at work. Worry.
Today, 8:53am- I recieve a text from my aforementioned man that reads “Not good, we are all losing our jobs.” Shit. While I know he’s been unhappy there for a while, and mentioned with more frequency over the last few months how much he’d like to find something new, I also know that he really would have preferred to leave on his own terms. I find myself already wondering how this will affect him, my, us, our unofficial plans, everything. Sorrow. Disappointment. Fear.
Today, 10:12am- I recieve a text from my oldest friend (we’ve been alive almost as long as we’ve been friends) that reads “I got a literary agent!!!!!!” (Yes, I counted her !) This has been her dream for… well, forever! We spend a few minutes texting our excitement to each other over this fantastic news. As we both return to our respective jobs, the roller coaster begins again. JOY! Guilt!
While I know that my guy would not begrudge me being happy for my girl, I feel guilty about it anyway.
On that note, I promise that this Will Not be one of those ‘woe is me’ type of blogs. Honest.
