That's how far apart my best friend and I are.
He's getting depressed and feeling isolated as his unemployment drags into its third month. I came unglued today when I thought a client reorg would put me among the ranks of the unemployed, as well. We spoke for about a half hour, me pacing around the lobby of my office building because my office itself is filled with three coworkers.
I wish we could be together. We get one another and, since we're both suffering, we could comfort one another.
But it is what it is. We'll have to settle for email and phone.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I know how you feel. I said to Kathy that I'd miss you the most...
ReplyDeleteBut, if you'd email you number (or ask for mine) we can be phone friends (or just email) too.
I hate reading how everyone will miss this, 'cause I will miss it too. I just don't have time for this and new projects....
