I caught up with Nancy last week, and something was said that made me stop. She considered me one of her closest friends. That made me feel quite sad... Because I consider her more of an acquaintance. I haven't seen her in over two years, and we've hardly talked in that period. I wouldn't say I knew her well, and I wouldn't say she knew me very well, either. And yet, she's been so focused with her career that she's had no time to make friends. In effect, even spending such little time with her, I was one of her closest friends. That made me terribly sad.
And so terribly thankful I have so many wonderful friends, and have had the opportunity to meet some beautiful people. I don't know what I would do without the girls, or my friends in Sydney.
I'm helping Lee move back to her Mum's on Boxing Day. Nikki and Phuong are helping as well, and Jen on Friday. The difference between Cathy's friends and my friends? Cathy recently helped Elise pack, and the conversation went along the lines of Elise booking Cahty & Trang in advance to pack up boxes with great efficiency.
Our session with Lee will involve something akin to the SATC episode of culling Lee's wardrobe first (and we somehow need to be brutal - Jen?), with entertainment for the girls in the form of alcoholic beverages/cocktails. Concerning the packing component? Hmm.. It'll happen somewhere in that episode.. Somewhere.
The end of the year is bringing about a close of an era for a few of the girls - Nikki and the Cafe; Lee and Dan. There's a feel of a certain inevitability to it all, and our New Year's celebration will see a new start for the girls. For such a long year, this celebration will feel very special.
Merry Christmas for now!
