Well, today was epic.
I had my Women's Social Group in my condo building this morning and my closest friend in the group was in rare form, waaaaaaaaaaaaay out on the lunatic fringe, i don't know what got into her.
Of course i didn't SAY that, just kidded her that she was a "cynic." I really saw a whole other side of her today and it was fun and everything but a wee bit disturbing if she actually believes all that stuff.
I guess she figures she is 70, she can say what she wants, but i thought it was somewhat bad judgment to be so absurdly controversial and such a conspiracy theorist. I'm usually the one pushing the envelope but today she just ripped it to shreds.
It was funny and i laughed, but i am a bit uneasy with her now. I guess it's just the process of getting to know someone and making assumptions that because they style themselves conventionally, their ideas are also conventional.
She's sure a wolf in sheep's clothing tho she did dye her hair brilliant pink but it washed out right away. I gave her the benefit of my experience with an excellent wild-color hair dye brand and hopefully she will try again as i think it's great when older people have fun with their grey hair as it will take any color dye in this brand i like and fade over 42 shampoos and wash out completely so there's no commitment and it only costs $8CDN and is easy to work with.
Then after Group, which was outside, the friend went to see the cast-off furniture a man had been carting out to trash while we chatted and i went along just to get more time with her and i discovered this exquisite rustic treasure chest! The friend helped me carry it up to my place and when i cleaned it out i found two lovely heavy open-glass-box candle holders and have been burning a candle for hours and studying the flame and trying to calm down from all the excitement.
I love candles!
@Soupe du jour:
Good luck with your hair. Hope it's everything you hope for. That's too bad about your friends' wife being so pushy. She was the guest in your home, why didn't she just respect her hostess' wishes? I was irritable today too in the mall when an eejit insisted i move out of the way when i was trying to disentangle a strand of faux fall leaves and they were falling down on me and i was clearly overwhelmed so i let an eff bomb fly at her which is not a good idea as posters warning aggression in the mall will not be tolerated are up everywhere, but i was really mad and she was being an @$$hole. There were no consequences this time but i have to keep better control of my temper. Really cranky because of the benzo taper and feeling mildly aggressive, wearing a Hell's Angels ring and not suffering fools gladly. I did good in Group this morning when one member was boring, just cutting my eyes away and talking to someone else. I'm the most curious one there and i think the women respond to my interest quite favorably.
