Thank you, you two. Last night didn't go exactly as planned. Friend's sister evidently just bought a house and needed his help. So instead of going to a movie he offered me to join him. Yay? So I said no, but it was still early. A few minutes passed as I explored my options all of which were lame, including going home to drink with W and her BFF (which would also be anti-GAL), so I called friend and asked him where to meet him. It wasn't all that bad, not the time of my life, but still better than the options. Side note - putting positive karma out thwre by helping someone I normally don't come into contact with. I got home around 1am, lights out, and everyone asleep, including the neighbor's D. She's a sweetheart.
So woke up with S2 as W was getting ready to leave for work. She asked my opinion on outfit, I offered good friend responses. She offered me the rest of her new coffee mix (pumpkin spice - Yum). I gladly accepted. Told her is be taking the kids to an am bday party, she was a little stunned. Texted me a work related rant. I validated. Kids and I went to the party. They all had a great time, including D11. She was the oldest as she was the first child in my circle of friends. No one brought up my sich other than me. I did in the sense that "wow, I didn't bring up my sich nor has anyone asked". Said that to my close friend from last night. So all in all today has been good so far. I keep reminding myself don't let others judge me. I've always been self conscious, so that's a big thing for me. Plans for the day aren't anything too special. Probably going to hang at another fiends home and watch college football over a few drinks. I did mention the idea of a getaway to a few friends, maybe I can make that happen. I did check out meet up last night. Some "interesting" clubs. I do so that as a potential springboard for local GALing. Just have to find the right one or try. I love my friends, but they are all married with kids so they are a great safety support net, yet I need to get out a little of that and meet new people.
