Happy Birthday to me.....

Another year ticks over..... very quiet day.Rick left early this morning for a music festival, so I saw him briefly.  Dale called in this arvo with his new pup and came back for takeaway pizza tonight.  Clint forgot til Dale sent him a text, lol, my reliable son ......  he was so busy packing.  But he called tonight and we had a chat.  My sister phoned.  I'll see her tomorrow, it's mum's 70th birthday on Tuesday, so we're all having lunch together tomorrow at a winery.  It's nearly a 2 hour trip each way, so I'll be knackered by the time I get home.  I havent seen her for a couple of years, so it should be interesting!!!!I'm really gutted though tonight.  My former best friend has really stabbed me through the heart.  We had words just after NYE and it got all weird.  She wanted time to think aobut things, fair enough.... time went on, I sent her an email saying I'd like to try and work things out, but I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks (no surprise there - she ignores letters, phone calls, texts, emails, etc when she doesn't want to deal with things).The  reply said she was taking here eldest son to town, to move in with her mum, and start tertiary education and she'll contact me when she gets back in 2 weeks.  Well that's this weekend I assume.  Even so... how friggin hard would it have been to pick up the phone or send a text at least.  Maybe I'm being too hard or I'm just a bitch, but her not contacting me today is the final nail in the coffin.  I'm angry at her and sad for us.  It will be awkward, cos we are bound to run into each other, it's a small town we live in.  I'm done trying to sort things out.  I try to understand something, and she goes on the attack, if I don't say anything then I get confused - I only want to understand why things end up the way they do.  We're both at fault here, I just wanted to remain friends, but I guess it's not meant to be - I don't know what I'll say to her, if she does ever bother to phone.   I would have respected her a lot more if she could be honest  and say how she felt before it got to this.  Ahhhhh well, that's off my chest now...... side step and move on. I have spent a really busy week getting stuck into my business developmet.  I'm about 1/3 the way through the business planning course.  I've also downloaded heaps of stuff to help me redo my website so it is better optimised for search engines.  There is so much to learn!!! We had an earthquake here on Friday night, 4.7 on the richter scale - scared the crap outta me, lol.  The house shook and rattled til I thought it would fall down.  Rick's stereo speaker fell onto the floor.Well that's about it for me - bed time soon.
