Why Isn't It Friday Yet?

It’s now been one month since the Red Rose Debacle and I am no nearer to an answer.

As for T, well, he wasn’t in class on Monday and Tuesday. He did come back yesterday but he obviously is way behind. He didn’t talk to anyone, just came in, sat down, and paid attention. I heard from Dena that he got really sick on Sunday night (right after he saw me???). They think it was food poisoning because he and D were both out and they went to some chicken place, El Pollo Loco maybe? And ate some bad meat. It was probably D’s idea. In any case, they’re back in school now but looking pretty sickly.

I kind of smiled at him when he came in yesterday and he sort of smiled back. I have to be positive about it and believe he was just not feeling very well and that whatever date he proposed is still valid. Lucie says to wait a week and ask him.

A week! Why do people throw words around like that and act like they’re nothing at all?

“Just wait a week.”

“Check back next month.”

“By next year, you’ll have forgotten all about it.”

Who thinks like that except someone whose life is passing by in a flash? That’s what Lucie says: as you get older, life goes faster. Geez, that sucks!
