Well, sort of.

I'm definitely in the anger stage. I'm really not sure I want to maintain any contact at all.

I also am pretty sure that I don't want to move back to Ithaca. That was a hard realization (and one I'm not 100% committed to yet). But one of the reasons I left Ithaca was because I'd outgrown it. It's a wonderful, but very small community.

I felt I'd outgrown Tucson a year ago. Why would I want to regress to something I've already done in a place I've already been? And I can't imagine why my best friend, who I thought was also of the outgrown-Tucson persuasion, would want to regress like that. All recent emotional trauma aside, I don't know that it's a healthy decision for him. But what do I know? I guess I don't know him as well as I thought I did.

Anyway, I took today and Friday off. We'll see how I do when left to my own devices.
