11/11 is Singles Day in China. It’s the day that’s kind of like their Black Friday and everything online is like on crazy sale. It’s always the biggest day in retail now over there, and I’d forgotten about it because I haven’t been to China in two years now. Strike that - THREE years now. In the past I’d just be getting home from a trip…usually a grueling one that had left me exhausted but also probably with a great story or two.
I don’t have great stories today except for the fact that I had a wonderful, WONDERFUL catch up with Best Bud today that lasted all day. I wanted to get a million things done around the apartment, but they all took a back seat to brunch with Bestie (who I rarely get to see) and even an after-brunch party at my place until a few minutes ago.
Best Bud got laid off from our workplace on the same day that I got put on my 45-day plan. It’s still kind of shocking to me that she got let go and I didn’t (yet)…I’m not complaining, but I truly thought that we were in the same exact boat. And we kinda are - it’s just that she got let go and I didn’t (again, yet). I feel almost guilty, but after Friday I don’t know if it’s just a matter of the fat that they are keeping me on to tie up loose ends?
Who knows.
Our day together wasn’t about figuring out the above. It was about celebrating our friendship and thinking about the future. It was the most lovely visit. And we got drunk and laughed our asses off together. I love her like a sister. I miss her like a limb.
I should sleep this off. My 4:30am workout will come sooner than I want it to.
xox,
GS
