Change

It is going to be interesting to see just how much of a change will take place, just how permanent they will be. Got through a whole weekend with only one early contact message sent. No reply and none expected. Even more pleasing is that there has been no overwhelming need to do any more.

Of course there is the expectation of contact tomorrow. But no need for contact beyond minimal, though trouble was created when trying for optimal minimisation, so maybe a case of not total shut down.

After that? Probably a full week before any other contact. And for the first time in recent history, there is no real dread accompanying that thought.

Change indeed.

And there is one of two reasons likely for that. Conflicting in their value, it is just a case of which one is most effective, which one is the overriding factor. Which is true and which is not. For it would be strange for them to complement each other.

I am cared about.
There is no joy, no pleasure or happiness to be had at work or play, which is where I am in my friend's life.
