Detachment

 There are some very strange people running amuck in this world. How come every single seems to bump into me for some reason?

There's a person I met through another friend. She struck me as being quite normal. We had good coffees together. Our morales seemed to align. We even had a girls night where 5 of us doing crafts and eating too much. It was fun.

I offered to help this person get her resume together and find a job. I did the resume, as well as another letter on a different topic, and started sending her jobs from indeed. I spoke with her on the phone about some of the jobs, and told her to send me any she found and I would do up a cover letter for each. That was the last I heard. I texted and emailed her but to no avail. It is really weird. Like she dropped off the face of the planet. I absolutely hate this word but she "ghosted" me. Like one of us just isn't here anymore. It is so freaking weird! Easy come, easy go. Better to have found out early rather than years into the friendship. Onward and upward!

Darrin and I are going to Vegas with Lori and Earl at the beginning of March. We're going to stay on Fremont Street this time. We're going cheap - you don't do much in a room except shower and sleep, so why spend the bucks on that, right? We'll either be at the Plaza or the El Cortez. Trying to find up-to-date reviews is a pain. So far it looks like the Plaza is favoured in 2023. Ah ha! I've discovered something that doesn't shock me. More than one site uses the same reviews! Hmmm Anything to make things easier and look like all doing a good job. At least it lets you know who owns what. So, Earl and I are going to book the trip today and then we'll have that done and out of the way, and I won't spend anymore time searching things out.

Carolyn and I have a date this Friday. She's getting lasik done to her eyes and needs a chauffeur. It will mean a little driving and a little waiting and a little more driving, but it's all for a good friend in need. What comes around goes around. A couple years ago, Lori drove me for my little eye surgery, so now it's my turn.

Saw a quote that said, "Speak to people in a way that if they died the next day you'd be satisfied with the last thing you said to them."
