The weather's been really hot and I wish I knew what was going on with me but on Friday evening, I took a stroll with a friend of mine to get a coffee. It's a nice twenty minute walk both ways and the temperature had dropped, making it very comfortable. Just as we're reaching the coffee shop, I get a text telling me that two people I used to work with were going to just drop by my place for a visit. I sent a message back saying I wasn't home and then called home to give my family the heads up.
There are a few things about all this that bothers me. First is the time of day. It was past nine pm and I live with family. These aren't people who my family know well and maybe it's just the way I was brought up but you don't show up at someone's place unannounced (or even call as you're pulling in the driveway). It also bothers me that one of my visitors happened to be the same person who forgets what's been done for her (keeping her job while in treatment) when it's not done for someone else (losing my job while I'm in treatment).
What does it matter? I don't talk to them and I really don't care to. Since losing my job, I've been able to see who my friends are. It's been easy to spot those that don't give a crap and it's hilarious when I do run into them. They act so fake and I can't wait to get out of there. Fun for the whole family.
