Just Make a Decision Will You?

I am in a very strange mood today.  I have the chance to get some jobs done and I’m in a trance like mood today and not doing anything.

I don’t want to be bothered with anything or anyone if I’m honest.  Which is why I’m having trouble making decisions today.  Can anyone help me?

After having a big day out with the children and sis yesterday (more on that later) I came home to find a hand-written note that had been left for me.

It was from someone I used to work with who I supported through a painful divorce.  I was party to many confidential bits of information and true to my word, kept my lips sealed.

However when our company made redundancies and I applied for voluntary redundancy (I was on maternity leave at the time), this friend lied to me about her job being kept open.  It didn’t matter if she was still retaining her role, I didn’t want to stay and that was my decision.

Our last conversation was over three years ago.  She even remarried in this time and didn’t bother to let me know, although I found out via other sources.

Considering I was there for her at her darkest times, I coldn’t believe how I’d been cast aside so to speak.  Maybe I was too much of a link to the past while she was re-establishing herself with her new husband, new house and new friends.  I don’t know.  But it did sting a little.

I am therefore in a quandry now as to whether to pick up the phone to her.  Part of my ‘nice and forgiving’ nature, the ‘good old Sue’ says yes phone and find out how she is.  Part of me doesn’t want to share what ‘I’ve been up to’ as we’ve had some particularly tough times over the last few years.

I do know she has left the company we used to work together at and maybe without that tie she feels able to contact me (that or she’s bored).  And here I am making too many assumptions.  The only real way to find out the truth is to ask.  What would you do?
