PEI is right.

Ummm, can you say that again? Just want to make sure I heard you right

I had been dealing with a few crisis at work. I was PMSing. I was tired. I was grumpy. I only wanted to talk to one person. And it was not her.

I dealt with my stuff, and when I was ready, I texted her.

I needed that time. I needed no interruptions. I needed it and it wasn't personal to anyone except me.

Everyone, ftr, the old me would have taken this VERY personally. I would have probably wondered what I'd done or what I'd said. My insecurity and fears and codependancy would have made this about ME. I would have given it head space, I would have wondered about it multiple times during the day, and always from a "what did I do?" perspective. I might have even texted her to ask those questions, making the situation worse and selfishly, and mistakenly, only being concerned with myself. I might have even turned it into an issue about ME, I could have pissed her off and blown the entire thing up into a self fulfilling prophesy.

It's the same with our S. It doesn't feel the same, but it is.

Yup.

BTW, Marsha was my favorite too.

PEI,

told you I was WAAY older than you.

You're just an old soul

Also ftr ... I do remember the Brady Bunch, Happy Days and Mash ... they were just syndicated re-runs by the time I watched them

I'm not as young as y'all think ... I just don't act my age

Peace
PEI
