Things That Make Me Think

A friend of mine told me today at lunch that she’s decided to ask her doctor for antidepressants. I’m proud of her; that’s not an easy decision to come to. But I find myself wondering why she waited to tell me that until our mutual friend had left the car. She made some mumblings about the other friend’s feelings about antidepressants, but on reflection, the comments she made don’t reflect my knowledge at all. I know this sounds cryptic as hell, but I don’t want to give away any names. Sorry. Still—I’m proud of her for making that decision. Now we’ll see if she actually follows through with it!

In other news, another friend of mine is in love! She’s been talking about it for weeks, but after an off-hand comment a few days ago, I finally figured out who the guy is. He’s someone we both know—and when I found out they’re a couple, it made me squeal with joy! Thinking of them together makes me happy (Shut UP! I don’t mean it like that).

Did I mention that Jessica moved out 2 weeks ago? Yeah, Wednesday the 15^th of July (OOPS, I mean June), she moved. I was given 14 days notice and half a month’s rent. Kinda annoying, ya know? But what bothers me the most, what I just can’t seem to get past, is that after being roommates for more than NINE years, now that she’s gone, I really don’t miss her. May I say that again? It bothers me that I don’t miss her. I feel like I should.

Eric’s car died in our driveway the other evening, so he borrowed my mom’s. (He picked his up this afternoon—scared the shit out of me when he arrived unannounced. Sorry I hung up so abruptly, Celti.) That means for the last 2 days Mom and I have been sharing my car. It sucks to share a car. I know now why people don’t carpool. ‘Cause it SUCKS to be without a vehicle! And to compound the suckiness of my yuppified existence, while I was without my Volvo today, my battery died on my cell phone. No Volvo, no cell phone… what’s a girl to do?! Hmph. I walked to my pedicure.

The best part of my day was when I opened Emily’s lunchbox today after school. Check out the picture; I got this note from her. God I love being her mom!
