Today I had lunch and went shopping with a good friend who was my coworker until she was laid off on Wednesday. I was truly shocked and truly saddened. We had nice salads for lunch and then wandered about the mall, talking and laughing, buying makeup and girlie things. I think next week it will really hit me that she won' t be there every single day to talk to and have lunch with and conspire with. We're still on the same train line.
Friends are great.
I'm just sayin. I've been all alone all week because Aaron is away in New York and Boston. Having the chance to be alone and putter around is cool, but I think the silence and loneliness in the house will start wearing on me soon. Today I noticed that the inside of our shower was grotesquely mildewed and nasty, so I scrubbed it thoroughly as I could manage, then cleaned the sink and the tub. Also went around the house taking out the trash.
