On Monday I got a facebook message from a friend who I have known since elementary school. He said he was going to be in town for a few days, and asked if we could hang out. I haven't seen him in years, so I was excited and nervous at the same time. The nerves are because I always worry about not having enough to talk about with those friends from high school who now live on the opposite side of the country from me. Plus, he drinks a bit too much for my taste, so I wanted to make sure that didn't mess up our time hanging out.
Anyway, we met up after work on Monday and wandered around Chinatown and the Mall. It was his first time in DC, so it was fun to show him a bit of the city I love. It was also fun to hang out and chat. He's a good guy, and we had a nice time. Overall, I'm glad he came and I'm glad we got time to be together. He was a good friend growing up, and it's nice to know he's still a good friend...even if we disagree on some things these days. :)
In related news, he got engaged during this past 4th of July. I'm super happy for him, and yes, I admit it, jealous and surprised. He did not have the best childhood, but he has found someone who he loves and who loves him and they work. I want that. Sigh. But I'm trying just to be happy for him. So yay for him.
Lastly, I have my next derm appointment on Wednesday. Wish me luck.
