2nd dose tomorrow yayyyy!

Things are slowly unfurling and summer is starting to feel a little more "like before" again.

Work is good, but my weird relationship with my boss will need some untangling i feel like. The work part i'm happy with - i'm just a little more worried about the friendship part that has been on... standby? since we started working together. I've recently learned he is separating with his long time girlfriend - a decision she told me about that they took a month ago. Something he has not mentioned to me at all. And i'm a little disappointed because it's the kind of information I share with my friends. But then again we had exchanged some flirty vibes before I started working there, and I believe their incompatibility around a potential openness of the relationship was one of the reasons for the separation. So I get it - but untangling and frank conversations would be appropriate just about now. On one hand, I'm happy not to get dragged into any drama and that our work relationship still feels efficient and good. On the other, I do miss my friend, hanging out and talking shit.

I went though a loss of friendship through conversion to coworking with the girl I started my speakeasy tours with back in the day. This person I used to hang with all the time and try new restaurants and bars with suddenly became my business partner, with an opposite schedule since we were talking turns doing the tours. And it worked great, we made bank - and then she moved to live in London like she has been planning to do before we even met. So I never really regretted transforming our friendship, because she would have moved away either way. And that you can't hold on to things and relationships to avoid changing them. But it still hurts a little and I still miss the good times.

Good thing the world is full of beautiful people, this one lady just came to our backyard tonight for a little meeting. A lady i've been hearing about from a bunch of my friends, and she is indeed just as awesome as all our mutual friend say. I haven't met new faces in ages - and awesome ones at that too! It just warms the soul.
