I'm a very social person, enjoying the company of many, so shutting myself away or going off by myself would depress me a lot.

Today went better at work. We all went out to a restaurant for lunch and saw some beautiful scenery on the way there and back. None the less, it was wonderful when we pulled back into town. I turned to my client and said, "Home sweet home." And he smiled.

One person gave me a very lackluster "hello" in response to mine, but others greeted me kindly and a friend sat by me after lunch and chatted for awhile. That was nice. My boss treated me so-so today. I can see that she is still a bit miffed at me for the bully having left, and I am guessing that will take awhile for her to get over. She hated losing anyone. She called us all her "babies" today, when she was telling someone about us at the restaurant. He was asking her all about us for some reason or other. Probably he was just curious.
