That's nuts. Who'd have thought?

Good morning, all!
I'm giggling at all the pork butt jokes! Thanks for waking me up with a big butt, guys. You know the way to a girl's heart!
I'm listening to a buddy's jazz program on the radio he does monthly. Great stuff to have coffee and catch up with my Weekender buddies with.
Sao, sorry about the forced holiday. I went through that for years. You seem fine but I had so much guilt over not having the warm fuzzies about my mom that everyone else seemed to have about their mothers. Mother's Day filled me with dread every year. Tough stuff. I'm glad you're here.
You guys, last night, late, my best friend who lives in California sent me a scathing email about what a terrible friend I've been. This was triggered through how she thinks I am trying to hurt her by letting her know if her former lover (a complete psycho who totally devastated her) contacts me.
Her ex sent me an article on fb the other day about beekeeping. I responded pleasantly and as short as I could. I sent the screenshot to my friend to let her know this lady contacted me. I thought if I were in her shoes, I would want to know.
There were two other interactions on fb I mentioned to her. One was I tagged the girl in a photo bc I was tagging 35 ppl I used to work with and if I excluded that girl, I thought it would be weird. My friend is convinced I did it to hurt her.
The second time was right when these two broke up, and the girl went to India. She posted photos of India and I asked my friend if she wanted to know things about this girl on fb, etc. My friend asked me how the girl looked in the photos and I said beautiful.
So now my best friend has been stewing and thinks I have the most terrible motives for mentioning all this- that I want her to suffer and that I am being insensitive.
You can accuse me of ignorance on this one but that's all I got.
She went on to talk about my behavior in active addiction. She says she's very proud of me for getting my act together, but that my behavior in general as a friend has had a terrible decline in the past decade.
That was the last thing I needed. I was finally managing to have a good day yesterday. It's been a difficult time- I only left my job 2.5 weeks ago but it's been crazy rough with trying to not get crazy with insecurity. I've been fighting with everything I have to stay connected to the planet, to not spin off into crazy land.
Yesterday I finally felt optimism and security. I took a breath and felt like I can do this- I was finally able to put things in a healthier perspective.
And then I get that stupid email real late.
What do you guys think? It's my oldest friendship, but I'm really mad and I don't need this right now.

Some of us just can't.
When guys do something like this it's cute or quaint. When chicks do it, we're judged mercilessly by the fashion police.
I think it's a gender equality issue.

Happy Sunday all! I'm having a good weekend this far. Trying to decide what to do with the rest of today (translation - procrastinating) as I hit the gym and grocery store already. I think I'll start my new puzzle (finished another last night) and fold laundry, do some cooking and just take a slow pace to the day :-)

no advice on the friend Melina... go with your gut...
before I actually get to work around here, I'll share one more clip, this had me laughing...
Jambi sent away to a catalog for hands... they finally arrived...

You owe her no response to that, Melina. Truly. She can think terribly of you, but if you haven't been a great friend, it's probably because you had things going on in your life that took most of your time and energy. I think it should be her cue to realize she could've been there for you.
