Almost through...

As usual on Friday afternoon, I'm just waiting for the last page of the proof and then we're done. This week it's Boats we're waiting for. For some reason, that wasn't done. It's the shortest section, for goodness sakes! Anyway, it's snowing out again, but at least this time it hasn't started sticking yet. It can stick all it wants once I get home; I have nowhere to go for at least 24 hours.

Got an IM from an old roommate this morning, who had heard from an old boyfriend of mine. That was out of the blue! Seems he's split with his wife and is now in NH. Weird how my past pops up every now & then in unexpected ways. I was dreaming this morning that I was looking at a website for a place I used to work. It was kind of funny; someone that worked there now was a Trekkie, and all of a sudden I started seeing people in Trek costumes all over the place. My subconscious is such a strange place! I never know what will turn up in my dreams. I have a very fertile imagination!

Today seems to be a day for reconnecting. Someone that I used to work with, and with whom I had a sort of falling-out last year, called me today. A bit of backstory: I read in the paper the other day that her mom had died, and I sent her a card. Well, she called me tonight, and it's like the past seven months never happened. She apologized for what happened, and we made plans to go out for lunch next week. I'm stunned.

She told me that the person (people, actually) responsible for my leaving that job were fired. I can't tell you how happy that made me! All I could do was laugh. And she understood. These people also made her life miserable, but she is able to do much of her work from home so it wasn't quite as bad for her. Plus, she doesn't actually need the job for financial reasons, so she's not as dependent on it.

She also told me that she's in therapy, and is getting help. Which makes me happy. I think a major part of our split was due to her many issues. She has a whole subscription. Her self-destruction pained me. I'm really glad that she's working through things, and I'm really glad that we made up. I missed her a lot. She got me through some really hard times. I wouldn't have made it without her, actually.

So. A lot to digest. My life seems to be taking yet another turn. It's never boring being me! Which is a good thing, sometimes. :)
