Seeing things.

One thing that I meant to add when writing yesterday's post, was that I was a little disappointed in a couple of things that KfW2 said (or didn't say).

For starters, I've lost a bit of weight this year. Enough that a few people have outright asked me about it. But KfW2 hasn't, in two meetings. It was only when I hadn't completely finished a portion of her (delicious) dinner on Saturday night that it came up in conversation as I admitted that I was on a diet and shared the amount of weight I've lost.

We were also discussing scars and I was showing off some of the many scars I have, due to some surgery about twenty years back. Scars that were due to a body issue that I have. Not a body issue - that implies a mental aspect (which is there, but it's not huge), but a medical condition. I don't even know what it's called, if it was even diagnosed. It's gotten much worse since I originally spoke my GP about it, but there's no cure per se. However, it's neither painful nor life threatening. I'd shared this medical condition with her and been very open and upfront about it, but she'd completely forgotten that it existed.

Oh, and she temporarily forgot that I had a tattoo even though she's actually seen it with her own eyes on multiple occasions.

But... getting back to the point of this post... I know that I am guilty of putting my friends on pedestals. They're not going to see or remember every little thing about me, but KfW2 knows about my body issues. Well, that one at least. So for her to seemingly forget is more than a little disappointing. Not seeing the weight loss, I can overlook - we've only seen each other three times this year, and all three times she's been less than sober. But still.
