First off, I meant to tell WaterSaphire I appreciated her post saying sometimes self preservation was most important. That's what I was feeling but couldn't seem to put into coherent thought.
And thanks Kath! The girl from work had given me her home email which I tried, but I never heard back from her. Then she left the phone message which sounded as if she was wondering about me because she hadn't heard from me. It makes me wonder if I got the email address wrong - it was a little hard to read. Then I emailed her at work, and definitely got that one wrong because it came back undeliverable. I also have her phone number, but I felt unreasonably anxious about calling her. She's very nice, and even stressed in the message she left that it wasn't necessary to call her back. My stress really was more about the connection with work that made me feel too freaked out to call her. But I really feel she will be perfectly understandable about it, I just feel bad about it myself. I feel like she is someone who could become a friend. She's the black chic who when we were talking about me being more assertive I made the comment that I needed to find my inner black woman, and she laughed her head off. That's one of those inappropriate things I sometimes blurt out without thinking. I really hadn't known her long enough to say something like that. But some people just seem to get that about me right off the bat and realize what I say is said in innocence and not as some sort of hidden insult. But then some people DON'T get that about me and I usually don't end up on good terms with them.
Anyway, I'm getting tired so I'm off to bed. Thank you everyone for all your well wishes, good vibes, and prayers. I appreciate them all.
