What Would A Friend Do

So, I have a friend (not in the 'its really me way' - a real friend)

She told me that she was ready to be with her former boyfriend / now boyfriend again

Ordinarily, 'Not a Problem'..... Unless....

There are a lot of "issues" with her situation... I won't put her business out there

But

I think she's settling and I'm not the only one

She's been 'single' for a while and made a bad decision or two (haven't we all)

I just think, she's 'afraid' to be alone / or is it doesn't want to be alone / or is it, she thinks she can't be alone?

So, she's settling for this yokel

And that brings us too - What would a friend do?

• Do I support her in this decision
• Do I tell her what I really think
• Do I do nothing

Right now, I'm working with option three. Its hard to be alone, how can I tell her to drop the yokel and face the possibility of being alone. I can't, so I guess option three will have to do for now, until she finally reads my blog.

(maybe this is what friends do)

Today is the 1st day.....

Today is the first day of my Summer!

I won't say vacation because I'm teaching Summer school

(at a major university on the east coast)

I'm a grad student - I'll be TA'ing this summer

But, the great thing about it is - its my own class.

I am the queen of my own 'castle'

(if by castle you mean tiny classroom, openless windows and subzero AC).
