Quick Question...
If someone doesn't tell you something because
A) although it was NEVER discussed between the two of you... they say they know that you knew and therefore didn't need to tell you
or
B) because they didn't want you to "leave"
It was done for selfish reasons and is technically considered a LIE, is it not?

Stuff
For those of you playing along at home, pay attention. Take notes if needed, this is important. You're friends with someone. There's something that should be brought up, not necessarily discussed between you, but at the very least brought up. You think your friend already knows, you're practically sure of it. Yet, it's one of those touchy subjects where your friend would never REALLY know unless YOU confirmed it/told them because it concerns YOU. Without that confirmation, it's only hearsay, etc? Why do you do? Out of mutual respect, grow a sack and just fucking tell them. That way... later... when whatever the situation is ends up snowballing to the point where you HAVE to tell them something, they're not standing there wondering which train hit them. Good luck with that, btw.
There was an electrical fire at work yesterday. The fire dept. got there before actual FLAMES appeared, but there was smoke smoke smoke. We had to evacuate two wings of the old folks' home. Some could walk, some were in wheelchairs, some in bed, some on oxygen, and/or feeding pumps... 42 people were evacuated within 10 minutes. 42 elderly peeps were scared to death and then sitting outside in 95 degree heat for almost an hour. After getting everyone outside, while getting all of the oxygen tanks out of the oxygen room... because HELLO? Fire. NO OXYGEN TANKS PLEASE. ...a finger on my left hand ended up getting smashed in a door. I remember thinking that it hurt a bit, but not bad, and kept on trucking. I run out the emergency exit of the 2nd hall, only to discover that due to the landscaping/lay of the land, I couldn't get to the residents who were sitting outside at the end of MY hall, and the firemen wouldn't let me back in to get out the exit on MY hall. I ran. I ran 3/4 around a 120 bed nursing facility at a full speed. It was a little up hill, a little down hill, hot, humid. I have to stop smoking. That shit was NOTHING like being on the treadmill! lol I made it around to my people and found them some shade under the nearest trees where we sat and sat and sat. This is when I noticed that my finger was swelling and turning beautiful shades of blue. Fast Fwd: All clear. Everyond back inside safe and sound. Iced the finger. Boss tried to send me to Urgent Care for an xray. Finger felt better before leaving with better range of motion. Didn't get the xray. Did get a cutsie lil' splint that I can't wear gloves over. Damn. No dirty nursing work. Tee hee! It's still rather purty though.
Those Girls: There are 4 of us. We have THE BEST times together. We finish each others' sentences, we know what each of us are thinking, we're IN each others' heads. Normally. One of us is M.I.A. We've called. We miss her. We've sent emails. We miss her. My email to her even mentioned that I've been feeling a bit hurt that she hasn't kept in touch, that I was feeling disposable, put out. I got no reply... which hurt even worse. Am I not worth salvaging? I feel like I've lost a part of me. We hope she's well. We still miss her and want her in our lives.
Honey, we're not mad. We just miss you. We wanna feel included and we wanna include you. That's all. I mis you... daily.
Motley Crue played 20 minutes from my house tonight. I had tix. I have NO IDEA WHY, but I just haven't been able to get excited about this since I got them which upsets me a bit. It's CRUE. One of my top 3 all time favorites, with all original members. Tommy Lee made an appearance at a local music store, I wanted to go to that too. I was going with a nurse from work. We've only recently met, but she's hella cool and even went to the Bret Michaels' show with Mel and I on the 28th last month. Speaking of which... I've had mixed feelings about that whole night as well. GREAT TIME WITH THE GIRLS...just an odd night. I had plans to meet up w/ a couple of my favorite concert-going friends at the show tonight. I've wanted this for so long, here I was... tix in hand... and I didn't wanna go. I miss my M.I.A. friend - I'd hoped that she'd join me/us. Last week was the week from hell... I was SO busy, I worked my ass off along with other crap that had to be done/attended every evening. So... Sunday, I gave my tickets away. I wanted so badly to be excited about this and go have a great time, and I'm *still* not completely sure why I couldn't. Sunday evening I got hit by that proverbial train and I haven't stopped thinking since. Yesterday was the fire at work. Today... today I'd resolved that I wasn't going and although disappointed in myself, I was OK with it. My boys' dad called at some point asking if we could meet up so I could pick up the kiddos from him (my son has an appt. on Thurs and needs to be home). "Sure! I'll meet ya." That's when I received a text message from another friend stating that they happened upon a couple of extra tickets to the show and they needed to know if I wanted to go. "Can't, but thanks." It's Motley fucking CRUE. Are you kidding me? Three different people today have asked me, "Are you OK?" and one looked at me like I was smoking crack when I had to break plans/tell them I wasn't going. Was I becoming that predictable??
My sister's been calling/texting like mad lately. We were never really that close. She's in the Navy and must realllllly be homesick to be calling me, lol. I miss grandma. I miss home. I wonder what Mom does with herself in that house all alone now. Talked to Dad this weekend. He's torn a muscle and a tendon in his knee and will have to have surgery.
Mel's all moved. I was really worried about her driving all that way (Boston to Indiana), but she and the dog survived the trip together and all is well. And now... she's so much closer!! I can't wait to see you, Mel... like... ALL THE TIME. Thanks Mel... for everything this week.
The kiddos are home. I'm off tomorrow. Yay us!!
Thought of the Day: "A win by forfeit isn't really a win at all."
