weekend repercussions

This weekend was just filled with irritating snafus and miscommunications. Mercury must be haywire retrograde. I must admit a bit of inner turmoil re returning to speaking status with a former colleague and friend with serious who exploded at me too many times, then recanted the next day saying he was over/under/mismedicated.

My response was to verbally rip him a third asshole (the second hole was already where his brain should have been) then cut off communication.

I thought I learned something about dealing with dysfunctional persons then (followed by irrational communications with another author, with whom I ceased communicating). Having contact with this guy made me feel the same way I felt when dealing with my sister – always on edge, cringing that he again might explode irrationally.

So now it appears we're exchanging emails after two years of relative hassle-free quiet. It's a sure sign that something’s gone terribly, horribly askew.
