I feel like I have a few very specific friends that expect a LOT out of me that puzzles me. Like, they get downright angry when I choose to spend time with a different friend instead of them. It blows my mind - they are like jealous boyfriends. One of them leaves me nasty voicemails, the other just ignores me altogether, chatting with me when it is in her best interest. The two of them - ironically - detest one another, they are more alike than they know. I guess I don't expect a lot out of people - I am regularly delighted when friends are there to help me & catch me when I fall. I suppose that is why I always think so highly of them - because I don't expect it. I guess that must be pretty weird - I'm not offended if someone has other plans. I don't assume that it has anything to do with ME, but merely that they have a life. Perhaps I'm merely too independent or not very needy. Either are distinctly possible.
Speaking of friends to my rescue - I have this whole drama with FIG - having to quit early & such. Leah offered to let me use her car the 2 weeks before I leave if I give notice early. She only drives it to work & back - I can drive her to & from, then use her car. She's in Madison, but if she were here, I would HUG her. That takes such a huge weight off my shoulders, one less thing to worry about.
