As I write this, I don't even know where to begin. I feel like it's me and Mark against the world right now. He's hating his job, and staying with it b/c he's trying to keep us fiscally stable enough to get a house. We're fighting so hard to get old shit taken care of and clean up our credit report. And now, I'm so despondent, b/c for the wont of less than $100, I wonder if 20 years worth of history has been flushed down the drain.
You know when you flush a toilet, and and just watch the water swirl around as it goes down? Not sure what's gonna happen now, but what I do know is that when I shared an email exchange with Mark, he was just as upset as I was. Perhaps even more so, b/c he was so upset, he drove his hand through a door. No, the anger wasn't directed at me - but it sure didn't help my mood today.
Shut down mode. That's what I immediately went into.
After an hour, we've talked - and I wish the person who made him so angry would talk to him directly. Otherwise, I shudder to think what might become of a long-standing friendship.
That, dear readers, would be a shame to lose.
