Thursday Ramblings

Well yesterday I closed one chapter in my life - I parted ways with a friend I met 5 yrs ago. What's funny is I knew for probably the past 6 months that it's been coming and I was not upset by it at all. Actually I kind of felt relieved. Does that make me weird?? I've changed, she's changed and we had very little in common anymore. What bums me most about it though is her husband is a great guy and Lane and I really enjoyed his company. Very laid back, easy going and funny. I'll miss him more than I'll miss her. I'm sure she'll probably read this but I don't give a sh*t.

I just have to learn that I have oil/vinegar type friendships with girls named Jenny, Jen, Jennifer...My maid of honor was a Jennifer and I so regret that she was. She was a manipulative, easy (think sex, think slut), didn't care who she hurt person. She actually thought that my best friend was going to give up his friendship with me to date her. He laughed in her face. You know the friendship isn't meant to be when someone tries to pull crap like that so I ditched her. She too was one that made a bunch of incredibly stupid choices in her life including marrying white trash that was stealing money from her and sleeping with us stripper on the side!

Anyhow...
Like the syringes???? Well I got 2 of them in my a$$ today. Yeah, I hurt and have a band-Aid on each cheek right now. Finally got to the doctor. Had to drive 20 minutes north of here in sleet and freezing rain. Nothing like waking up to thunder in the morning, looking outside your bedroom window and seeing snow, sleet and freezing rain falling. Anyhow, well so much for my bronchitis theory. It's worse. I have pneumonia. Yup. Kind of thought it might be but was hoping it was bronchitis instead. One of the funny things that the doctor said was, "I can have you admitted to the hospital if you want." Ummm...yeah. I'm the mother of a 4 yr old. I don't have time to be in the hospital. Now if it were really severe, I was having a difficult time breathing, dehydration, fever, etc. then I would definitely consider it. But I did talk to my cardiologists office today and they don't see a need for it either. But I will be doing not much of anything for the next few days. I'll probably be napping a lot trying to get better. Fun! So wish me well on getting better. I'm on antibiotics (Doxycycline) and steroids (Prednisone).

Hope things are going well for everyone else and they're not going through major illnesses. I also hope no one's getting any nasty weather and is staying warm. I know my sister is supposed to get slammed by a snowstorm in Indiana. Kind of wish we were. Can you tell that I love snow???


********* EDITED **************************

I edited my post from yesterday because some of the things I said I probably shouldn't have even though it's exactly how I felt. I'm a tell it like it is person and in the heat of the moment I said things before I really thought them through.

I've had to walk away from some toxic friendships in the past. I know how you feel. But you did the right thing, I'm sure.

Take care of yourself and get better. Pneumonia is nothing to take lightly. That sh*t can get real nasty.

Have you and Icon been hanging out together?

Sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been neglecting my bloggy buddies of late and only commenting on occasion. Bad, bad blogger buddy!! :0( It's the kind of mood I'm in. I really need to find a job!!

Hope you get to feeling better real soon!! Sorry about your old friendship! It's never easy.

Hope you are feeling better. I'll post some pix of Indiana snow and ice (scheduled to arrive tonight) if that will speed your recovery. :-)
Sorry about losing a friendship. It's never easy.
And good luck staying away from Jennifers....is that even possible for people our age??! ;-)

I am so sorry you feel so sick. I would say make some hot tea and curl up under a nice warm blanket and sleep, but... Eriks. Hmmm, the trials and tribulations of being a momma.

Sorry about your friend, hopefully this is a good change for you.

You know I can sympathize with having pneumonia! It just stinks! Hope you feel better soon.

And sometimes you do have to walk away from bad relationships. If they are not healthy, you just need to move on.

Sometimes you just need to end friendships. There is no point in continuing on if you can't relate to each other. Still, I'm sorry....:-(

I hope you start feeling better soon. This really sucks!
