So I went to the Dr. who took some tests and said "Erin I can do more tests or I can give you 3 pills and send you home to bed." I was achy, had a temp, was sick to my stomach so I opted for the pills. Maybe not the best idea but it sounded like a viral infection, Dr. said that's what he thought it was so...that's what I got. Sitting on the couch all weekend sounds GREAT in theory, but really stinks. I did get to catch up on some movies that I knew Patrick wouldn't watch (2012, The Color of Magic, Planet 51). I wonder what the record is for watching the most movies in a row. I could be a contender.
I've been doing a lot of thinking since being awoken last night at 5am from a long time friend. I am a strange bird. I love my friends but choose to live as far away from them as possible. I can't explain it. I have been friends with this one person for a really long time and for years our relationship didn't change. I'm guessing the reason for this was because we didn't change. We drank, went to football games, had the same friends, went to the same school, did everything together. Then I decided to move 1/2 way across the world and leave them behind. Kate and I sat around in BCN some days bitching about our "friends" that never emailed us, never called, never wrote, never skyped. I was so mad about it until last night. I left. They stayed the same. I changed. I JUST realized this. Wow I know.
I have decided to stop being mad about change, it's life. I love change so it's weird that I was so upset about this, but I was. No more. As they say that was the past and I'm over it. I hope that I can keep our tattered relationship together and work towards having an adult friendship. It won't be easy, but is it ever?
