Back at home now

Ok, I’m back at home now. Blondie must have driven like the proverbial bat out of hell to get there when she did.

I was talking to Critter today, just random stuff, we were both off from work and bored silly, when I mentioned something about the marinated chicken breasts I’d had for dinner twice this week. I told her that I took some over to Ember’s house one time, and she and Sammie and I had dinner. I told her we used to do that every so often: I’d provide some of the food and either Ember or Sammie would provide the cooking skill and we’d have dinner at her place. We always had dinner there though since her apartment was actually set up better for it even though mine was much bigger. And she had a dining room table where I only had TV trays. Anyway, Critter asked me if I was OK, and I told her yeah, and asked why she was asking out of the blue like that. She told me it was because I sounded so sad when I was talking about Ember.

I do miss her. It seems like everything was so much simpler when we lived so close to each other. Even when we had relationships that took a lot of time we still seemed to have time for each other. And I think we were both happier then. I don’t know if it’s because we have so much more responsibility now as opposed to then or if it was our proximity to each other that did it. Oh well. I once joked about her and Sammie building an apartment above  their garage so I’d have a place to live later on and she seemed to like the idea at the time. I guess even then we didn’t want to think about living far away from each other.

I’ve got to get going. Facebook is calling my name, and I’ve still got an eval for one of my hourly managers to write up and I’ve got to read over the materials for the class tomorrow. Yay.
