Long time...

Sorry it's been more than two months since my last post. A lot of crazy stuff has happened, and we all deal... Anyway, I thought I would post tonight since I have a friend who pulled some crap on me. I love to use my blog as a stage to vent. CLEARLY, my last blog post being a testament to this. I should probably be writing about all the crazy things in between that I didn't post, but instead...

Actually, you know, screw it. I'm going to live and learn and not vent about some friend taking her bullshit out on me, but instead deal with my own stuff. Screw her crap.

I haven't written because I went away for Thanksgiving and my beautiful niece's birthday the week before, and when I returned I had a health issue. I fainted while working out one day in early December. Unfortunately, someone who saw me (either when I fainted or after, when I was still unconcious--I had been power-walking outside on a main road) told the paramedics I had had a "seizure." This lead to many tests (I wasn't admitted to the hospital, but I wasn't allowed to drive until a meurologist cleared me) that were probably not that necessary. All of my symptoms can be attributed to not enough protein before I went out and my long history of migraines. Apparently, "syncope" (which is the medical term for fainting) is a rare, but not unknown symptom of frequent migraine sufferers. Due to the holidays and various tests I had to undergo, I did not get clearance to drive for an entire month. This obviously created chaos in my life as I live in a city that requires a car for nearly any major activity. I was in anxious hell for a month, needless to say. I'm fine as it turns out. On to the rest of my life.

I had had plans to move back to New York City, but everything was put on hold while I dealt with the nightmare that was the month of December for me. And as it turned out, most of January, because I'm not someone who routinely has a good Plan B, so I had to figure out how to create one in that time. The past two months have been truly awful, but I hope I am back to my usual fighting, blunt self at last. Which is another reason why this post is not going to be about how much I hate when someone blames me for their own mistakes and shortcomings! Instead, I have filled you all in on why I was remiss in posting, and I hope to be back to regular posts in the future.

On the topic of friends who blame friends for unnecessary things--I guess all I can really say is: I hope I have grown enough as a person to "consider the source" as people used to and still sometimes say. My friend is not in a good place and it's easier for her to blame me for an evening that didn't work out the way she had hoped than think about the various things that are not going the way she would want them to right now. Such is life. For any of you reading this who are friends of mine--I try very hard not to exhibit this behavior myself (being as it drives me nuts!), but if I have, I sincerely apologize. No friend should have to put up with it.
