Friends
October 26, 2009
You know that old addage, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”? That has gotten me a bit upset today.
Since I sprained my ankle on Saturday, going to the opera hurt like crap. I was walking on it, but really shouldn’t have been. Sunday, was supposed to go downtown with a friend and had to change plans and just hang out at my place. Today had to work from my bed, because really still can’t put my foot down enough to negotiate the stairs out of my building. Hobbling/hopping around to do things.
Two of the friends I would consider closest at this time asked me on chat if I needed anything. I asked if they’d come over and I assumed they both would at certain times.
I dunno, maybe I am being nitpicky. But I’m feeling more and more annoyed in general. I generally pull an independent front, so maybe when I say I need something, I’m not very convincing about it. First I was a bit annoyed at cooking dinner last night. But at least he brought me some essential groceries I asked for. But neither friends came over. Both were too busy. One I understand because she is recovering from mono and is tired herself. The other I call my best friend. She had things to finish tonight. Including things she had to ask me over chat. But she didn’t have time to walk 3 minutes to get over to my place after work. This, compared to this other friend who came in from half an hour away and spent 8.5 hours with me that I really just met a month ago.
She says, she saw me on Saturday and will see me tomorrow in class. Yeah. After I force myself to walk on this ankle to get to class on the other side of the city. Will I do it? Yes. Does this mean I am fine? No.
