Saturday Plans: I Miss My Friend!

Sometimes, there's nothing better than a Saturday without plans. That's especially true after a social weekend like last one (fun, fun, fun) and a work week like this one.

Truth is, I had plans for today, but they were altered early this morning. I had planned to spend a low key day eating lunch with a friend. Afterwards, we were going to casually shop for nothing (casual yet dangerous territory for both of us) or go see a movie.

In reality, the week was hard on both of us. We are both feeling totally wiped out... work, allergies and burning our candles at both ends. We discussed it last night and decided to make the call Saturday morning. And this morning, we agreed that we just couldn't do it.

If she didn't live a good 45 minutes away, our plans stood a good chance. Neither of us, however, could commit to the drive, particularly given Houston traffic and construction. Various and lengthy sections of freeways are closed this weekend, and although they weren't the sections between us, alternate routes are always affected... big time.

So, we talked on the phone for about an hour. We commisserated. We sighed. And then we set off about our individual and lazy days. I miss her. I don't see her often enough. We just need to live closer!
