I feel soooo sick. Today was my company's holiday luncheon. There was fried chicken, au gratin potatoes and bread and meatballs and the largest cookies you will ever see in your life. One vegetable was on the table...corn, which is so starchy I am not sure if it should count as a vegetable.
So yes, what I really need right now is the rest of the afternoon off to either quietly digest the food or to be close to a bathroom that only I use. Or a nap.
I talked to an old friend today and I realized I had a smile on my face the whole time. It was the type of conversation where he said, "How the Hell are you?" and then we had to go over the important stuff in our lives, like getting new jobs and moving. We hadn't talked in over a year. That's pretty incredible when six years ago we didn't go more than a few days without talking and seeing each other.
I was thinking about that the other day. I have made so many wonderful friends, but we've all had to leave and move on. Are these people really my friends anymore when I have no idea what they do or even who they are anymore?
I wonder if any of them feel as sick as I do right now. Can they feel sympathy pains for me?

We wil always know what the other is doing...and I have 2 friends I talk to once a year or so, and I know if I needed them, they'd be there in the drop of a hat.
Yeah, that's true. I do have friends that I keep in close contact with, but there are some people out there that I was soooo close with and they could be living out of a box for all I know.
