- I’m trying very hard not to let little things aggravate me today but alas, they are. It’s not even anything big either. Like, I went out to brush down the pool but the mosquitoes were kind of bad so when I went looking for the bug spray, I realized my oldest had taken it to work. Why we don’t have more than one, I don’t know!
- The junk on the pool walls is weird this year; normally it brushes right away but this year, it is stubborn. You can get it but you have to really use some elbow grease. So, ugh.
- I met a friend for coffee yesterday and it was really nice to catch up. I have seen this reel lately (since I have inevitably had much more scroll time, much to my chagrin – that I am actually doing it) that shows a woman lying down and it says “When you realize you’re no one’s ‘best’ friend”. And it’s true. I have friends and we do things from time to time but none I talk to all the time. But that’s ok; I am who I am and my life is what it is – and what I make it.
- A couple years ago I opened a RobinHood account. bought some crypto and some other various stocks, and then immediately forgot about it. Lately, I decided to log back in and I am shocked to see I have made money. Kind of cool. I’m not the stock trading type but it’s neat to play around with.
- With our brewclub party happening tomorrow, I have all these things in my head I need to do to prepare but then I look around and think, ‘I need to do that first thing tomorrow’. So really, I just stand in my sun room and stare at the space, putting it off until the next day. It’s not my first rodeo – we host a lot – so I think it’ll all be fine. I’m off to get ready to run errands. Have a good weekend!

I don’t have a best friend either who isn’t family. I used to have one and then she went back to work full time and we gradually drifted apart. I have a few good friends and I am content with that, truly. I feel very fortunate to be close to my siblings- since they’ve known me the longest they are “my people” outside of my husband and kids. I hope your brew event goes well. I admire how easy going you are with having people over. It usually always stresses me out!
I wish I had more siblings and/or that my sister had any interest in having a relationship with me. She’s very standoffish as it is and doesn’t even attempt to initiate. 😦
I have some very good friends who don’t live nearby but we see periodically and pick right up. I know they’re there for me if I need them. We are currently dealing with an extremely sad and messy friendship thing due to one couple in ‘our group’ having a very ugly divorce and the friends more or less having to choose sides, with not everyone picking the same side. It gives me a stomach ache if I’m being honest. I do have sisters and I’m especially close to my one sister-in-law. I’m glad you met a friend for coffee. Those are good friends to have too. Enjoy your brew event!
I totally understand that. We had a friend group that did a lot together but then one of their kids dated the other’s kid and then broke up after 2 years; now they don’t really speak to one another so events are very awkward if everyone attends.
Recently, I was thinking how more “chill” I feel generally. Maybe I’m finally post-menopausal? Life begins at 60? I don’t have a best friend either. We moved here just prior to covid, which didn’t help making new friends. I feel like I should maybe put some effort into fixing that.
Congrats on your earnings. I heard so many RobinHood and Crypto horror stories, I’ve stayed far far away.
Yes, I imagine it would be a lot more difficult if we moved. We plan to be out of here in about 7-10 years so it will be interesting. Though, to be fair, we have interests such as brewing that will inevitably open doors to meeting people.
