This is the emotional toilet flushing effect.
I heard from a colleague this morning about her last 2 days. And if the news brought tears to my eyes, I can only imagine what it has done to her for the last 2 days. She is such a strong person to still go on. Still coming to work, still putting up a front.
All 8 months plus that I have spent, not a day goes without me associating anything with then. And I can only imagine how long it will take for her to get past this. It was a 4 year investment.
She was telling me about female intuition. Which I think mine failed me very badly.
Of course there were signs, of course there were reasons, of course there were slap-me-in-the-face obvious hints. But if being honest and considerate is not part of a person's values, then I cannot blame myself for being blind to it.
Some people are verbal, some are visual, with my sense in music and everything else, it has to be audio. I can't read off an email and expect closure. I need stereo! I can't expect to see them together and think the worse, I don't know. I'm just not that way.
But hearing her tell me her story, my heart goes out to her. And all of a sudden it was my Friday being bad, and this Friday, I'm
NOT In Love.
Maybe coz it's close to bleeding.. Maybe it's time to bring out the Happy Pills and just try to make it past today. Tomorrow will be a better day.
I still hate weekends. But at least tomorrow I will have Jerri Berry and on Sunday I will have Jack.
