Last night, I sent a long delayed response to someone who was expecting an almost immediate response from me. There was one big reason I didn't immediately respond - I needed to figure out what I want to say, as the elephant in this person's room was not an elephant in my room. (Sorry to keep the details secret. I just don't want to alienate this person in case she reads my blog.)
This person probably did not want me to feel hurt, when she revealed this something. But I had long since let go of that part of our past. So, I had to delay my response. Since there was another person involved, I had to make sure that any comments about this other person were on spot and well deserved. I don't know how many more conversations I'll have with the first person, but both of us will be talking about our present lives, and not our past lives.

Now back to me....
You may have noticed me writing about a favorite food truck (Cousins Maine Lobster) that circulates all over NYC and its nearby NYS suburbs. Today, the truck was within 5 minutes of my house, so I planned to drive there after work. My first stop was to drop off two bags to the thrift shop. Instead of getting an electronic receipt, as I did in the past, I received a card which I could fill in myself. This is not as good as I'd like, as I could print my copy on standard letter paper. However, it does allow me to enter whatever quantity of donation bags I want. So, everything balances out in the end.
And then it was off for some lobster. Given that the truck was positioned on the site of a church's fair, the parking was horrendous. However, getting my lobster was quicker than usual, as they had lots of food ready for quick sale. From the time I parked my car to the time I returned to it, 10 minutes had expired, and I had a 10 minute drive to get home. You can guess what was the first thing I did after stripping off my dress and taking off my bra. Luckily, I had nothing else to do this evening.....
