update about my friend with the shitty communication who i was/am still sad about in case anyone was wondering. i texted them that they have a book of mine that i want back (it’s one of my favorite books and it’s filled with parts i liked that i underlined because i liked them so it’s not like i can just get a new copy and i lent it to them ages ago but it’s not like they ever read it) and they immediately replied and said they’d see if they could find it, and how have i been, so i said i was mad and didn’t particularly want to talk to them about it, because it’s them i was mad at and i just wanted my book back.

they said that they didn’t feel texting is the best avenue for such things but of course they’d be willing to talk about it whenever and however i was ready and they felt very poorly that i was upset.

so i wrote a letter (several, actually because most of the early drafts were too mean) that essentially said something like “last time we talked, i mentioned all the topics i kept saving up but never got to talk about because you would only ever ask what i did on any given day and barely even that. i also told you about my great aunt’s very poor health and impending death. your response to these things was to ignore me for over a month. that’s a horrible way to treat a friend. now your usual argument at this point is ‘but you could call me!’ and if you’re thinking that this time, i guess that just means you haven’t listened any of the times i explained why i hate having to be the one to call you and never do anymore. if you’re interested in being a good friend who communicates, let me know. you have my address to return my book”

i sent it last monday and haven’t gotten anything back yet (including my book, unfortunately) and i’m kind of relieved and annoyed. i’m not sure if i’m expecting a letter back or not.

i did learn that the mystery taz shirt i got was from them, and probably never would’ve found out if i hadn’t asked for my book back because they didn’t bother to include a note, or call me and let me know, or send me a text letting me know there was a present or literally any other way of communicating it

i gotta call my school therapist’s new office to ask if they got the forms i emailed them but there’s a possibility the office or possibly his home were affected by the fires and part of the reason i gotta call is to find out if that’s the case because it’d mean the forms would take longer but i cannot bring myself to call and the workday in california is creeping closer to ending

okay so i called joe and talked to him twice and this morning he did the forms while we were on the phone because he had some questions and he said he’d email them to me today but he hasn’t yet and the city psychologist emailed me and was like “hey uh heard anything yet” and it is the worst because i don’t have a polite grown up way to be like JOE I SENT THESE FORMS TO YOU A WEEK AGO THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS GET THEM BACK TO ME WHEN YOU SAID YOU WOULD SO I CAN AVOID EMAILING DR HILD AND TELLING HER THAT I’M SORRY BUT I’M DOING MY BEST
