-Had a good rehearsal today with my cello ensemble. I spent yesterday busting my tail to prepare and it paid off!! Even parts that seemed impossible came off well.
-Went and got waxed... and lo and behold, my waxer asked me, "So is your B coming for spring break?" Man, I can't believe how much it HURTS to tell people, even people who are really basically STRANGERS, that we aren't together right now. I think in Waxing College they must learn to always ask about your SO or something. And I had not seen her since Oct or before, the last time I got waxed.
It turns out that the waxing lady is a recent WA. She told me that she went to visit her BF (they were long distance) and he hadn't cleaned his apt for her and she thought, "that's it. I'm so tired of trying to change this person. I'm so tired of trying." I kind of wanted to slap her ("you broke up with your love b/c his house was dirty??!!") but I also thought it was an opportunity to probe the Mind of the Walk-Away. I asked her, "is there anything he could do that would make you think, Wow, I made a terrible mistake leaving him?" And she said, "I could feel those feelings again, I just don't feel them now." Hmmm.... As if having someone pour hot wax on your body and rip off your hair does not make me feel vulnerable enough!!!
-I just made two types of muffins as a hostess gift for my first friend that I'm visiting in SF tomorrow. I am honestly feeling trepidatious about this visit. This is the same friend who said really nasty things about my B and then I didn't talk to her for 2-3 months and then I called her to work on reconciliation. I guess I will try to act "as if" I am expecting it to be wonderful and see how that goes...!! And there are two other friends who I KNOW are excited to see me who I can spend time with also. *Experiment*.
I will probably post again before I blast off, but if you don't hear from me til Tuesday, don't worry, it just means I am GALing in San Francisco!!
