Humble Pie

Well, today I had a properly chastening experience. I had a small item, but one that was very important to me, and which I thought had been stolen by someone I thought I was close to. This was about 5 or 6 years ago, and has coloured my perception of that person and thus our relationship suffered.

Well, today I was going through an old bag and guess what? There was the item. I've spent the afternoon feeling very foolish and sad. Yes, I suppose I should have spoken to the person in question years ago, but I had no proof of anything and I'm not confrontational by nature. Maybe I should have given them the benefit of the doubt, but this wasn't the first time I felt they'd abused my trust, more the final straw. I guess I now need to do what I can to make this right.

It's been a fairly sombre weekend, actually - one of my team at work had a bike accident on Saturday, which was pretty serious, but fortunately he's relatively OK. We're also going to miss some good friends of ours who are moving about three hours drive away. That's going to be particularly tough on my wife, who's been particularly close to L. They're a highly changeable pair, though, so we're hoping they'll be back for Christmas!
